Canon printer hacked to run Doom

Hi Folks,

Did you found yourself beeing bored waiting for your printer to finally finish?

Well hers the solution for your problems:

 

 Doom on Canon Pixma Printer

(source: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-29203776 )

A wireless Canon Pixma printer has been hacked to run classic video game Doom. The hack was carried out by security researcher Michael Jordon, and it took four months to get the game running on the hardware. He said he had undertaken the project to demonstrate the security problems surrounding devices that would form the "internet of things".

I seriously want to see a guide to "update" my canon printer and i hope They will include Doom as a feature in their new Products! 

Have a god day!

can it play crysis? lol

That's pretty damn neat, I want a cannon printer with Doom now!

Not a chance, you're going to need an Epson Stylist Pro 7880 at minimum to run Crysis at 30fps. I got a Stylist Pro 11880 and can squeeze out 55fps during intense moments.

thats pretty badass, I love it!

How do devs expect to make money when they make a game that can't run on a mid-range printer?

 

What would really be funny is if it gave you some sort of exclusive weapon called a canon

It never ceases to amaze me what people will put Doom on; bravo.

You do realize Doom came out when the 486dx was popular and getting a Pentium meant you were "a rich kid".  I was in college when all that happened.  I remember the birth of the internet.
