ePrint (was Re: HP OfficeJet 6500A plus)

[smittyusn1 at bellsouth.net]

Here is a link to  HP’s site describing  ePrint in more detail (how to use to better manage your business).   Perhaps it  will enlighten some people enough to check it out and join the technical revolution.

I 110% concur.  Yet another erosion of privacy that only fools would
tolerate, and indeed subsidise by actively paying to be screwed.

Additionally, how boned are you if HP's servers are unreachable, either
through downtime on their end, or because a gateway fell over somewhere
between you and them?  "Oh well, I didn't -really- want to print right now.
That presentation for the annual conference that starts in 30min and which
required people to fly in from all over the world...that can wait a bit.
No problem."

Right.
