With no apparent way of unlocking these devices promised or foreshown in the article, I wonder how long those e-types already sold with the on-line requirement will keep working. Pretty soon the 'e' at the end of the model number will be short for 'e-waste'.

I have an HP Deskjet 2750e, tied to my HP+ account that I started to setup and canceled after getting the printer to a working state. It's now attached via USB to a RPI running CUPS. Now I have a printer that automatically pops up on my network (across OS's!) and works every time. I bought the refurbished Walmart branded ink for it too. Works great

Can you write out acronyms RPI and CUPS

[simondanerd]

RPI - Raspberry Pi (https://www.raspberrypi.com)

CUPS - no longer an acronym, but used to be Common Unix Printing System. (https://www.cups.org/)
