    Nothing a Wi-Fi controlled power outlet can’t fix. If the printer is turned off it can’t suddenly start printing.

      OK, but the fact that this is a thing that can happen should be making everyone think twice about buying from this manufacturer.

        It isn’t GOOD. But if you aren’t leaving your printer running 24/7 (which you shouldn’t, if only for power reasons), it isn’t a massive issue in practice so long as the conveniences outweigh the risks.

        I WOULD be concerned with the window between a print finishing and waking up though.

        I bought from them knowing about the cloud service. These printers are fine for one off purchases, but I would never buy one if I were to set up a print farm. The parts are all reasonably priced, just don’t know how long that will last or they may discontinue the model and stop selling parts for it.
