Toner Pixel Elimination Controls Computer Printer Operating Costs

In the past three years we have seen more clients who are expressing concern about their computer printer operating costs. I had this change in focus confirmed when discussing a new product with a potential supplier from Israel. He indicated that their software has taken off for adoption since 2008 due to more emphasis being placed on the cost of printer operations.

HP Printers Could Permit Hacking of IT Network Columbia Report Sayss
Posted by Lee Kirkby on Wed, Dec 7, 2011 @ 04:12 AM
In a recent Extremetech article a study performed by Columbia indicates that security issues with HP printer firmware could permit hackers to access IT networks containing the printer. The article sites that tens of millions of devices could be affected. There are claims that firmware changes through a hack could lead to fires. It appears that HP does not feel the report is accurate and has published its response. While the reports that hacked firmware changes could create a fire hazard are being challenged it seems some of the other reports regarding data integrity issues are getting more serious concern.
