HP just announced 4 new printers, 3 of which take the 564 cartridges and one that takes the 60's.
However, the big news seems to be the ePrint program. This gives your new HP photosmart printer an email address from HP that allows you to email your print job to the printer. While they claim it is secure, I can forsee some hackers having fun with these.
We had it in our town one of the apartments was on a huge network, and a friend of a friend printed to every printer that was 'shared' on the network. Something tells me I can see someone printing a lot of bad pictures to random printers.
However the other side of this is forced firmware and security updates.
