Artificial, licensing? What kind of licensing could one possibly need to build a machine that deposits ink onto paper? Printers have existed for way more than 20 years so surely all the important patents must have expired.

@grishka @ABasilPlant @AncientGood I made a very little (re)search and found what all main components: #postscript , Printer Command Language ( #PCL ) and a bunch of ISO standards not a subject of licensing. I dunno, maybe this anti #privacy shit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots — should be licensed 🤷‍♂️
