Good.. gives me a reason to throw out my old CLJ4500N. That thing is a tank and probably could start a fire.

Now people will have a reason to take their printers out to fields to smash them with baseball bats.

Hell.. a hacker could run a legit used printer shop and infect all the printers he sells and bam!
