Now, we need Google robot to go for the print out.

It could be something in line with the Google Printer System for Chrome OS/Cloud.

That's what I was thinking...printing via cloud, for ChromeOS. I remember reading about Google considering how to print wirelessly to printers via the cloud. Makes sense.]]>Jun 7th 2010 6:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/
I could really see myself buying a web connected printer, but if my only printing options are JPEG or Google Docs, then no thanks.]]>Jun 7th 2010 6:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/
I assume that if Google and HP are working together, they'd create a simple driver specifically to print PDFs. Google would then work with Adobe - scorned by Apple - to use their existing online PDF conversion tools, to create an interim PDF file from most any file type you could possibly have.

So you send your file to an HP printer's email address; it gets intercepted and the attachment(s) processed into PDFs; the PDFs are then directed through to the printer which then needs only use a specific driver instruction set to print out your PDF file.

Of course, the potentially scary part, is that the processing will allow Google or anyone else to insert ads, for better or worse, eh?]]>Jun 7th 2010 7:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/Jun 7th 2010 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/
My only problem would then be accuracy. I often use Adobe Acrobat to turn various file into PDF's. Even that (very) expensive piece of software often screws up layouts and typography which requires hand adjustment.

Then again, I doubt this hardware is really designed at mission-critical or professional usage, so my point is pretty moot.]]>Jun 7th 2010 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/

maybe it'd be sent as a raw image file.. i'm sure it's not going to be like sending an email to your printer.. it would be a device driver that creates the address and you'd work through an interface.. very much like how drivers work now.. just less cables.. and more bandwidth..]]>Jun 7th 2010 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/Jun 7th 2010 5:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/via email.]]>Jun 7th 2010 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/

Hopefully it'll use a white-list along with encryption, allowing print commands from only the emails you use.]]>Jun 7th 2010 6:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/
Or imagine that Google will now now anything you print to your printer and probably keep a copy "for you, of course" and then imagine that they will be able to also print an extra sheet with ads related to the topic you are printing. Doncha just love privacy...

I used to really like Google - only search engine I used - then when I read about the data mining on personal systems - even here in Australia, I have become a bit more cautious.

Cheers. ]]>Jun 7th 2010 6:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/Jun 7th 2010 6:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/You haven't even understood the system and you are making wild insinuations.

With Google, ads come only for free services and not for paid services. Also, these ad placements are done automatically and not by humans. Do you want to enjoy a free service and yet not want to see an ad? That is not feasible for any business, let alone Google. As for me: I would prefer an ad supported free service to a paid service.]]>Jun 7th 2010 6:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/I do understand the system.

I also understand why I was never too excited about Facebook and Twitter.

I am cautious about giving out personal information. Or transmitting it to a "cloud" - bot or not.

I am not opposed to you or anyone else using this technology. I just choose not to use it. It isn't about not understanding. It is about not using it.

I pay for my apps and all the the services I use - even email. I do not have any ads invade my email or spam (anymore). I signed up with GoogleMail a long time ago. But have since stopped using it.

I do not feel comfortable with someone having all of my correspondence on their server and not erased when I tell it to be deleted. (Check into the new laws being voted on for your cyber protection - indefinite storage by public access email servers and ISPs located in the USofA). My email server is in Scandinavia.

No Google, Hotmail, or Yahoo mail. No clouds.
I am a writer and inventor. We are a funny lot when it comes to privacy. What you may feel is not invasion, feels like it to me.

I hope that helps explain my hesitancy to use this new service.

Cheers]]>Jun 7th 2010 6:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/
And of course Google isn't in any kind of sh!t storm for invasion of privacy. Nope, not them.

Right. I feel so like trusting them - less.

Sorry, I just do not like the idea of the Ogle-Mobile driving down my street and attempting to log into my WiFi network. It can't but just the idea is repugnant to me.

I guess that is OK with you.

So, I do not feel comfortable with Google teaming up with anyone to offer a new service. And I am sure it will only work on HP printers.

Funny that. ]]>Jun 7th 2010 6:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/Jun 7th 2010 7:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/Jun 7th 2010 7:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/
I think the idea you have more privacy and control over your data if you use a paid service is a myth. Let say I make a request to my email service and storage provider to permanently delete all my data, it's a rather unusual request, I don't have much faith that they will take the trouble to locate my data and backup copy which might be scattered in a couple of servers. and there's no way to know if they have done it.]]>Jun 8th 2010 3:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/Jun 7th 2010 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/Jun 7th 2010 6:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/Jun 7th 2010 6:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/Jun 7th 2010 6:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/But then again people will be able to hack into the printer and print off porn - you didnt think of that now did you!]]>Jun 7th 2010 6:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/Jun 7th 2010 6:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/Jun 7th 2010 6:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/Jun 7th 2010 6:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/hp-teams-with-google-to-give-connected-printers-their-own-email/
