Epson is promoting television-based printing with its Livingstation line of large-screen televisions with built-in printers, and a recent partnership with several Japanese organisations:

“The Megaport project, which also involves media organizations such as Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun and publisher Kadokawa Shoten, produces television programs that combine broadcasts with printable content such as maps and brochures. For example, a viewer could watch a television commercial for a furniture store, then print out the product catalog with the click of a button.”

Livingstation projection TVs are currently available in the US, with the cheapest 47-inch LCD screen priced at $3,199. I wonder how much the inkjet cartridges cost?!
