“We are working to bring webOS to our printers as soon as possible, but I doubt it will be next year [2011]”, Stephan Batteux, portfolio manager Inkjet and Web Services for EMEA at HP, told pocket-lint during a demo of the company’s new Android power printers. He suggested that such a move is more likely to happen in “2012”.
Batteux also confirmed that the company is planning to launch a dedicated API for developers in the coming months for its new "app-based" printers, so that developers could easily create new apps.
So those worried about developing apps for an Android system that will quickly be replaced by a webOS one shouldn’t be, Batteux told that the company was working on a way to make it easier to merge the two together in the future.
Batteux also confirmed that the company was working with a number of third-parties to create an enterprise version of its new ePrint system, one that will allow large companies to print to any printer on the system via the company’s intranet.
