But the spammer would have to correctly guess not only your randomly generated printer email, but also spoof the correct email on the allow list.

Unless you're putting that info out there publicly, I don't see how that could be an issue.]]>Jul 2nd 2010 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/Jul 2nd 2010 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/
But if you get a randomly generated email address for your printer like:

h76g748kj98@eprint.com

and your allow list has just tom@yahoo.co.uk then it's pretty unlikely that a bot could match them up.

This type of setup will come off worst in businesses if they allow wildcards and there are some disgruntled ex-employees who would like to engage in some g*atse/t*bgirl shenanigans. It would be better if the printers had webcams to capture the reactions of course.]]>Jul 2nd 2010 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/"pretty unlikely" is not secure. ]]>Jul 2nd 2010 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/

You can turn off the feature if what you demand is quantum encryption standards or nothing.

For most people I doubt it will be an issue. What is the worst that could happen? You lose some ink, it is not like the printer will become an entry point to hack into your computers and pull credit card numbers.

Oh, right, whitelists. Never mind...

Looking forward to a WebOS app for that!

I'd like a nice WebOS app that adds a nice red and green Christmassy border on each page that it prints out.

Not to mention destroying the environment. We are supposed to be moving away from killing trees and towards reading things on tablets. I'm sure HPs printer division would love to change that, but HP as a whole would have been a lot better off using the money to develop an Instapaper clone for WebOS smartphones and tablets.]]>Jul 2nd 2010 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/
I agree 100%! I manage a print fleet of over 500 machines and HP has totally gone down the drain (just retired our last 8000, which I think was the last of the HP greats). The only value they have left is their printer standard, EPIC, STAR, and so many other software companies only support HP. Luckly Sharp, Kyocera and a few others can Mimic the HP driver so thats become a non-issue.

DrDr, your on to something, can you image if they had software that took a print job in their standard and e-mailed/sent it to any device, that would save trees and could help people off our paper addiction. However being a business that would mean people would no longer buy their Printers that are simply money traps in the long-run.]]>Jul 2nd 2010 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/

Additionally, it is an ink jet printer, something that after a hundred or so prints will need a new cartridge.

There's already stuff that addresses these sorts of problems. It's just that no one is interested in perusing them. Companies like HP certainly aren't interested.

Everyone's most favorite phone to hate is basically a Unix machine. At the very least it could have a Unix printing system on it and avoid this nonsense. Stuff doesn't need to be hard and it doesn't need to come with gigabytes of spam.

...now that I put it that way I am not sure I would trust HP with this sort of thing.]]>Jul 2nd 2010 9:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/
Personally I've boycotted HP as a company, but that's mostly from my personal experiences. 3 HP laptops in the family, two with dead wireless and another with a dead motherboard. One HP printer which now refuses to join the network (the router doesn't see it; I believe it burnt out out its network components as well).

I just don't trust the company to deliver something that will either work well or last.]]>Jul 2nd 2010 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/
Same problems with HP laptops. Had one for 2 years when within a few months both the wireless card randomly stopped working some of the time (soon completely gone) and the battery died. Yes there was a battery recall conveniently at the same time which affected my dv6000 but I knew that it was time to change. ]]>Jul 4th 2010 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/Jul 2nd 2010 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/Jul 2nd 2010 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/Jul 2nd 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/Jul 2nd 2010 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/Why do I see webOS destined for this and probably ONLY this!!!!]]>Jul 2nd 2010 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/hp-eprint-really-works-emails-and-attachments-printed-from-the/
