The application gives users a print option inside their BlackBerry email client to search for and print to publicly available Ricoh HotSpot enabled printers powered by PrintOn.
Ricoh HotSpot Printers allow customers to forward documents via email or upload from a URL to a HotSpot printing device.
There are also no drivers to download, users just need a web-enabled laptop or smartphone to print to a Ricoh HotSpot Printer.
Ricoh says that it plans to introduce this technology to be used with its multifunction printers later this year.
“Business professionals never travel without their BlackBerry smartphones. Having the added convenience and functionality of the Ricoh HotSpot Printer app for BlackBerry smartphones, puts printing right at their fingertips,” said Matt Sakauchi, Vice President, Office Printer Business Group, Ricoh Americas Corporation.
