[e-privacy] Are Your Peripherals Monitoring You?

[Alessandro Lori]

An anonymous reader writes " Engadget is reporting that 'Lexmark, makers 
of printers and scanners, has been caught monitoring users' printer, 
scanning, and ink cartridge usage.'" Newsgroup comp.periphs.printers 
readers noticed the software; the Engadget report says that "Lexmark say 
they're just tracking printer and cartridge usage, but the registration 
information and packets being sent say otherwise."
