Just look what happened to RMS when they refused to share the source code to his faulty printer. He’s been on a warpath ever since

Hi, I worked on printer firmware. It was fun! Printers are robots, when you get right down to it.

Now, when they downsized and reorganized and put me on the windows driver team, I left the company within a week.

Maybe the folks that try to use printers are more frustrated that the ones that designed their software.

perhaps the suffering of the printer devs is karmically 'paid back' by the physical suffering of printers around the globe, thus keeping everything in balance.
