You can poke around the source on github: <a href="http://github.com/freerange/printer" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/freerange/printer</a><p>There's also some fairly comprehensive documentation on the github wiki, including an architectural overview, and building your own printer: <a href="http://github.com/freerange/printer/wiki" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/freerange/printer/wiki</a>

How much does an appropriate printer cost? eBay seems to indicate between $100-$300.

I wonder if you could print to this using a Rasberry Pi with a Gertboard?
