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

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.
