    Just saw an ad for an HP printer that you can email pictures to, and it will print your picture for you. Honestly, can you think of a single time where this would be in the least bit useful?

      1. I don't trust HP printers, they seem to spend more time churning out pages of gobbliegook. 2) I tend not to keep photographic paper in my printer, just bog standard A4 And as for your question, nope, think it will just had more complexity to the printers firmware, meaning more of #1.

        I guess it is mostly for mobile devices with image capturing devices. How do you print photos taken on your smart phone? Plug it in to a computer, copy the images over, send them to printer.

        Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

            Well yes, but by that point you've already been talked into buying the printer and you just sit at home drinking in an attempt to dull the disappointment and regret.

              Oh, yes, so you email a full size pic rather than plugging your pone in or doing it wirelessly on your network - nahh, you just wouldn't wouldyou!

                          Thankfully not. The keyboard and the subwoofer had a taste of my ginger tea though - I'm thankful the keyboard is spill-proof, and the woofer was covered with a muslin cloth. After wiping the tea off, it looks like no harm was done. However, I should have known better. I've learned from my experiences in the past that reading the lounge won't go well with tea. Username "OriginalGriff" added to my tea time blacklist. :-O

                                        Just saw an ad for an HP printer that you can email pictures to, and it will print your picture for you. Honestly, can you think of a single time where this would be in the least bit useful?

                                        Sure! 1) Next time you need to distribute your catalog you can just email it to your customer’s printer and save all that time and cost of printing. 2) If I was the HP manager in charge of ink sales, I would encourage lots of people to send useless multi-color images to their entire spam list.
