The OpenPrinter project (see the CrowdSupply project’s page) aims to create an open source repairable printer. It has some interesting features.
I was starting to believe the project was dead but they gave some news on their progress today : https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/open-printer/updates/progress-update-and-details-about-our-nomination-for-a-french-design-award.
I post it here since the project is lead by french people and would be an alternative to many printer manufacturer.



Thanks for sharing, in case anyone cares about the companies in the printer market:
HP and Xerox are from the US.
Canon, Epson and Brother are from Japan. Some other companies that create professional machines are from Japan too.
If you’re buying European because of things happening in the US, in this case just skipping HP is your best strategy.
You should probably skip HP regardless of what’s happening in the US.

Canon is apparently following HP’s lead on some of these things as well
