TECH: PRINTERANYWHERE has added encryption

It’s interesting. I kvetched that why should one trust an unknown third party to handle my data in route. I’m not sure that they solved my concern. It very nicely looks to windoze as a printer. It fools windoze into thinking its a printer. That seems to work correctly. On the other end, it does allow a printer to be defined.  And, it works nicely. Encryption does require the entry of a key value (password?) at the printing end. Man-in-the-middle is still possible. I’m not sure how you overcome that. Thinking about symmetric and asymmetric methods, I can’t think of how they over come it. But, they did do something.
