Hi HP, I want my printer boring as it should be

It uses AI to rearrange and resize content when you are printing from the internet. The example is pretty compelling, but doesn’t make up for everything else HP does.

Yup, it’s a cool feature and I’ll be sure to get some kind of open source tool that leverages my own computer ressources and isn’t tied to such a terrible printer to do it.

Or… just copy the text that you want to print in libreoffice and print from there

Moreover, I don’t understand why HP is wasting lots of server processing power for this. If someone prints one page instead of 47, then they can downgrade from the highest plan of their ink subscription with 100 monthly pages to the lowest cheapest plan with only 15 pages. Maybe they plan to include a page with sponsored coupons in the printout?

HP is doing a lot of advertisement lately, the boycott must show first fruits. Fuck HP.

One could use Perfect Output to quickly fix image sizes and remove ads and white space when printing something off a website, HP says as an example.

So Reader Mode for printing?

That seems like a feature that would be better handled by the browser than the printer—this is the equivalent of implementing reader mode by adding AI to your monitor.

What, “decent”? They’re just jumping on the AI bandwagon.
