HP+ Seems Sketchy

Maybe im just old or out of it, but an employee bought a HP LaserJet Pro 4001ne, that she couldnt get to work?

I thought it was sad, turns out there's no drivers available online?!?

It's an HP + printer, which is an always online model that offers free toner and other goodies.

They force you to use their webapp/activation process and open the printer on your firewall to the internet.

I apologize if this breaks forum rules, or if this is too much of a buyer beware.... but i find it sad that a company is forcing you to use the webapp to "undoubtedly" steal your data.
