HP Gives Printers Email Addresses 325
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.'"

Somebody at HP deserves congratulations for this (Score:5, Funny)
...and by "congratulations", I mean a nice, hard punch in the crotch.
What in the hell were they thinking? EMAIL IS NOT A FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL, DAMMIT.

Now when you are fired your boss can let your kids and wife know by printing out You're Fired from all the printers in the house.

For years I've been looking for a viable replacement for my aging fax machine. Fax... that's short for facsimile for you youngsters.
I know the rest of you have all been looking for an better way than plain e-mail to exchange physical copies of documents. There's just nothing like holding the document in your hand. Am I right?
So I'll let *you* decide what I need to have printed. Send me your stuff: tonerlow@anothersillymarketingideanobodyneeds.com

And so now we're back to fax spam? Thanks HP!
At least there is a good part.
How many days until we get a post on TheDailyWTF regarding a PHB asking their employee to send them an email with a blank word document, because their printer is out of paper?

But think of the new paradigm of email/fax spam, a synergy of such epic proportions as to usher in a new Zeitgeist.

I find your ideas fascinating and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Why all that hassle? I'm sure any spam message sent to a printer will have the evil bit set (see: RFC3514 [rfc-editor.org]), so you can just tell the printer to ignore those messages... Simple!
