Ideally I am looking for a printer with

  1. opensource - Hardware, firmware, drivers, All OS support,
  2. No Shenanigans like mixing up colors, wasting ink in storage, hidden codes
  3. Easy to maintain and repair,
  4. low ink cost
  5. No Wifi or bluetooth

It’s not released yet, but I’ve been keeping my eye on the Open Printer project by Open Tools. You can sign up to get email updates on their Crowd Supply page.

Edit: Sorry, just seeing the no Wifi/Bluetooth, so this might not be the best fit (but it does aim to be fully open source, so maybe in the spirit of what you’re looking for?)
