No, you don’t need a voice-controlled printer in your life
Voice assistants are all the rage right now — Amazon’s Alexa and Google’s Assistant are popping up in every connected gadget you can think of, from thermostats to refrigerators to headphones. This week, HP announced that it plans to bring voice assistant compatibility to its line of printers. They will work with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Microsoft’s Cortana (cute that HP is throwing Microsoft a bone here).
The company says that you can use a voice assistant to ask the printer to spit things out like a to-do list, calendar, graph paper, Sudoku puzzle, or a coloring page with a cartoon character’s outline on it. HP’s global head of home printing, Anneliese Olson, says “Our tests with customers show that they want to print whenever, wherever.”
That certainly sounds like something an executive at a company that makes printers and ink for those printers would say, because I can’t think of a single reason why I’d want to ask Alexa to print something out, and I use Alexa in my home all the time. Printing out a to-do list that’s already on my phone is a complete waste of paper, and any parent knows that a full coloring book costs less than a buck and printing out a page at a time from an inkjet printer would cost a fortune and take forever. None of this sounds like it’d be easier to do with my voice instead of just using my phone or computer to print something out either.
