Just had my nephew ask me about these. He wondered WHY specs showed that it
needed a direct internet connection. I replied and will post here as an FYI:
With an e-printer you can be in a coffee shop and print the file to your
home printer. So it acts like a server - to get that file to print it needs
to have a direct internet connection. It's not 'wireless in the house
printer acting as a slave printer off a pc'. Theoretically, you could have
no pc in the house and the printer would print.
The printer itself gets an email address assigned to it when you register
with HP.
To print, you email the document to that email address - from anywhere. If
powered off, when the printer turns on - it fetches its email - just like
your pc works with your email.
Kinda like a fax machine using email rather than telephone system - no cost
to user to use it AND you only get printouts/email (theoretically) from
people that know you - no faxes received from robodialers.

Not worth paying extra for at home but HP might be bundling in its new
printers and charging a few bucks extra. ( Like making CD players standard
in all cars and adding $30 to price of all cars rather than a $175 option
for some.)
I'm not sure if there is/will be a charge to use it. In a few years, I can't
imagine HP assigning 100 million emails address, the disk space to store the
files, the responsibility of backing up the disks etc - for free.
