Re: Without users knowledge....

I'm suprised Epson found it necessary to conceal this behavior. Atleast some if not all new HP printers come with this function under user notice and control. It connects to the HP website and allows the user keep track of and project cartridge and paper use.

Re: Without users knowledge....

Now that you mention it, Yes, I did notice this when I first set up My HP 5550. I didn't select this option but I did think it was rather clever that the printer would order it's own consumables as needed. But with an OfficeMax a short distance away there was no need. But If I lived in perhaps Guernsey, Wyoming which is a small community with population of about 1000 and a long history, 115 miles north of Cheyenne I would make use of this.
