Do people have printers that move around all the time?
Also, firewalls on desktops and laptops for the win, yet again.

- doubled112 2y agoFair, but do people print away from home very often? I’ve never printed anything outside of home since high school, but maybe I’m an outlier. Maybe a better question, would intentionally adding a printer at home and a printer at the office be that large a barrier? Maybe we wouldn't even need to drop auto discovery. Maybe it could work more like Bluetooth and only broadcast or accept connections while it was actively searching.
