HP Gives Printers Email Addresses

[BenoitRen]

HP is set to unveil a line of printers with their own email addresses, allowing people to print from devices such as smartphones and tablets. The addresses will allow users to email their documents or photos directly to their own — or someone else's — printer.

Great, now I can have my "enlarge your penis" SPAM automatically printed on arrival!

And it sounded like such a good idea until you mentioned that part. They'd better have a good way of getting around this.

I can't imagine HP not foreseeing spam, Benoit. However, if you really want to print it... eh... =P

The only span i get is from people on my msn with viruses, usually "Hey, I just got a free iPhone from..."

keep your printer turned off?

Oh, good. HPs already bloated "every driver we've ever made" driver downloads are going to be SO much more fun now.

Not to mention the fact that unless you're in their Business class, the printer's just gonna shit itself anyway.

Afaik, there's GPG signing before one can actually print anything out.
