I thought I already answered that, did you find my answer lacking?
It's a bit chicken and egg really. People see no need for new electronics because there are no printers that need them, but people don't design new printer features because the standard electronics won't support them!
There is interesting stuff going on with polar and delta printers, web interfaces etc which need more than the standard electronics.
