I am VERY excited about this open source printer project. We are pretty light users of our HP inkjet printer, so much so that we've had ink cartridges dry on us, forcing replacement. The ability to refill cartridges would mean that I'd be able to set up a cron job to do a test print every once in a while to keep the cartridges from gumming up.

Not to mention being out from the "phone home" DRM/auto-update bullsh*t.

@pluralistic would be proud

@knasman @pluralistic forget buying ink. That's the next money sinkhole.

Instead:
1. Go into the woods
2. scrape a lot of ink cap mushrooms
3. go for their black fluid
4. ????
5. PROFIT!

@ppxl @knasman @pluralistic plus, the ink from the ink cap mushrooms does not fade over time 😈
