- Hey here is our new laser printer

- You can't print from Office you need to export to a PDF

- Then use our SecurePrintTM application to send your PDF to the printer. It uses a hard coded mTLS key to talk to our cloud so it's super safe.

- Also SecurePrintTM sends all your PDFs through our servers where we could read them because we control all the keys. We promise we won't though. Don't worry, they are mTLS encrypted on the way to our cloud!

I do understand your point - the current implementation of LAN mode would not be suitable for enabling on a network with very high security requirements. I just don't understand how Bambu think this improves things.

Why not add user controlled OAuth/mTLS to the X1E? Hell, make it additional paid extra. Right now, it seems like their new approach is worse for everyone.
