The company showcased its cloud technology in a live webcast from Internet Week New York, demonstrating the system and featuring talks from partners including Yahoo, Google, Live Nation and Nickelodeon.
Significantly, the new machines will be the first to make use of the upcoming Google Cloud Print, the printing system for the Chrome OS that will be released this year.
“We are once again revolutionizing printing to make web-empowered, cloud-enabled printing the new industry standard,” said Vyomesh Joshi, Executive Vice President, Imaging and Printing Group, HP. “We know that our customers want an easy way to print their content, anywhere, anytime. We’re making that a reality today by giving people the power to print from any web-connected device – smartphones, iPads, netbooks and more – to any printer in our portfolio above $99. The world has changed.”
The July issue of the Recycler will feature an in-depth feature explaining the cloud print concept and exploring the developments from HP and Google.
The webcast will be available here from tomorrow.
