Description

So someone mentioned this a few days ago in r/privacytoolsio.
I tried searching myself because this peaked my interest, but without any luck.

I tried to make some requirements while searching for it (let me know if this is realistic or not).

For multiple reasons It think it is still good to mention this under the hardware section even if such a printer doesn't exist.

Because it is still possible to give the people some tips for example what to look for when buying a printer and what not to look for.

In addition to that maybe we can help out to make a set of requirements for developers like the ones i mentioned.

Also it is still good to mention on the site even when we give the people no tips. Because u give this subject exposure. Exposure leads to that people get aware of the situation. The situation that there isn't a privacy respective printer on the market. There is always someone that will step up and take the challenge to make such a thing.

I see this allot happening on forum like on r/privacytoolsio or /opensource. When someone addresses something that hasn't been made/exist it'll get exposed and people will get to know about this issue. And there will always be a person(s) that steps up to make it because that person(s) sees this as a challenge.

I think that this is a great opportunity for the website.

## Description So someone mentioned this a few days ago in r/privacytoolsio. I tried searching myself because this peaked my interest, but without any luck. I tried to make some requirements while searching for it (let me know if this is realistic or not). - Open source printer - Doesn't use printer tracking https://www.eff.org/issues/printers https://www.eff.org/pages/list-printers-which-do-or-do-not-display-tracking-dots - No wireless capabilities like WiFi or Bluetooth (Nice to not have), so only a usb connection. - No proprietary software needed to setup the printer like a desktop/phone application.
