Re:Ask HN: Why are there no open source 2d printers? by kevstev on Thursday October 15, 2020 @10:58AM (#24789266)
Indeed- I only used 2000 as its now the last year for any patents to have been around. But all-in-ones, network printing, duplex, color-laser, were all around in 2000 and any fundamental patents on them should have expired. Wifi integration maybe not, but this seems pretty trivial to "clean room" in this day and age if this is somehow patented functionality.
