Don't print your ransom notes or blowing-up-stuff plans on a LexMark!!!

[Schrade]

All humor aside, think twice about printing your bank statement, or other highly personal info on your Lex-Mark Printer.

Stegonography? That went out with American Indians' Internet (smoke signals). "Why wait to snoop?", says LexMark? We want it NOW... (and they're gonna' get it now):

Thanks for posting that up. It's hard to imagine a company figures they can get away with that kind of nonsense...

I must have missed something. All I read was that the application sends back info about ink consumption, nothing about the ability to save and later transmit a digital image of what was scanned or printed.

Just about everybody's computer communicates with Microsoft or Apple or other software manufacturers on a frequent basis. Does this mean that they are stealing a copy of every Word document or spreadsheet we generate?
