HP Gives Printers Email Addresses

Barence writes "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. It will also let people more easily share physical documents; rather than merely emailing links around, users can email a photo to a friend's printer. 'HP plans to offer a few of these new printers to consumers this month, and then a few more of the products to small businesses in September.'"

The addresses will allow users to email their documents or photos directly to their own -- or someone else's -- printer.

Let the printer spamming begin!

You mean it hasn't already?

It's not like anyone could ever have predicted this from, oh, the FAX SPAM problem?

How would you like to accidentally staple a printout of this to the last page of your report to the boss?

(nice way to thin out the competition at the office, though)

As another poster pointed out - no swearing, no nudity, and I'll add that there's no racism, no Nazi stuff (just in case someone in france wants to take a look), no religious stuff (neither the Pope nor Mohammed), no links to affiliate programs, it's not an ad trying to sell you anything, or an illegal download, or anything else. It's even hosted at google, so no drive-by downloads.
