HP and Yahoo To Spam Your Printer

Posted by samzenpus on from the this-expense-report-brought-to-you-by... dept.

An anonymous reader writes "As many suspected when HP announced its web-connected printer, it didn't take long for the company to announce it will send 'targeted' advertisements to your new printer. So you'll get spammed, and you'll pay for the ink to print it. On the bright side, the FCC forbids unsolicited fax ads, so this will probably get HP on a collision course with the Feds."

    So what's to stop me from pulling out the power or leaving it paper/inkless when I'm not using it?
