My proposal to have an Open Pinter

1.- Standards, define and document the standards aplicable for the machine.

My experience with printers:

A few years ago, some friends and I decide to start a recycling program, receive used computers and accesesories, refurbish them and asign the equipment to people in need, in the case of printers, this was a nitghtmare, becouse the cost of the suplies and the fact that the machines are disposables, no parts, no way to fix broken plastic parts in critical areas and no ineroperatibility, the only way to have spare parts is to make one printer out of two, if they were not broken on the same part (this was not posible, poor desing couses the same problems on the same models)

Goals

One good goal will be to have a cheap to operate printer for schools and public institutions that not requiere fancy printing, just a document that prove that you pay your taxes, or college bill, etc.
