Is anyone familiar with a solid open source printer hardware project?

Given all of the issues with printers over the years (driver compatibility, ink cartridge drm, things like the above post), I’m curious if there is a reason open source printer hardware is not more common.

My assumption would be the complexity of the print mechanism / tolerances / balancing.
