We need a properly-open sourced printer at this point.

I have a laser etcher. Through trial and error, I got it to produce black and white images on wood. So it's now a laser photo printer. Just change one axis to move the material instead of the head and you have an open laser printer.

I was thinking more along the lines of Megasquirt, but for a printer.
