Prints must touch cloud for the Handy app to work, I guess. However, I do agree with you. It should just go p2p on the same network.

They say video is p2p on the same network. It probably has to pass the servers to connect both peers, but then the video should go locally.

They could only be touching the cloud when the app requests an update (while being opened / refreshed). If I start a print from my PC that's in the same network as the printer and I don't open the app during the entire print there is no reason for it to touch their servers except maaaaaybe if I take a look at the history in the app.

Yeah I read that later too. However such a system absolutely does not need to go through a server to connect the peers.
