That's the subject of my comment, but I'm sure somebody will assert a conspiracy by "Big Printing".

The blog post does not describe anything, the blog post asserts that 1. somebody should design and manufacture open-source printing hardware 2. Sprinkle fairy dust, rainbows and unicorns 3. Everything is awesome
And the starting point is mostly that TFAA thinks hardware is too expensive and obtaining counterfeit consumables is a pain.
The blog post asserts that these standards should exist, lists some non-obvious things that will need to be developed by someone, and makes a case for their potential profitability, albeit a weak one I'll grant you.
I don't understand why you're taking such a negative attitude with the suggestion. Not every blog post on the world-wide web is written with the intention of outlining the solution to the described problem, unless that's really what you're taking issue with.
