There's already plenty of wireless printer options out there, but those looking for a few more capabilities than your standard offerings provide may want to keep an eye out for Ricoh's new HotSpot series models, which the company says are the first printers that let users "print documents from any Wi-Fi enabled location or device." That, however, is done is a rather roundabout way, with users required to either upload the file to a website associated with the printer or forward the file to the printer's own email address. On the upside, that means you won't have to install any drivers, and you'll be able to print from a handheld or cellphone in addition to a computer. No official word on a price from Ricoh just yet, it seems, but CDW already has the monochrome SP 4100N-KP listed for a cool $1,700, with the color SP C410DN-KP model undoubtedly set to demand a good deal more.
First Printer to do this huh?
My brother multifunction printer accepts documents e-mailed to it's e-mail address.
great, this baby saves all my USB-ports of the MacBookAir.
The number keypad looks like it came from a Packard Bell 33mhz circa 1994.
Rick Rolled?
Printing spam has never been easier
Isn't that basically the function of a fax machine? To print from afar?
Why would you want to print something to a fax machine. I'd rather have the printer.
Me too for that matter, but it still seems like it's been done before.
Why would you want to print to a fax machine? I'll take the printer over the fax any day.
Hey common,
they just matched a Laser Printer with Printme.com Functionality!
Where is the catch?
apt-get install postfix magicfilter
magicfilterconf
echo "print: |lpr" >>/etc/aliases (probably a bit more complex)
write a CGI
