HP ePrint-enabled Printers First to Support Google Cloud Print

Easily and securely print from Google apps without a PC connection or print driver
PALO ALTO, Calif., March 31, 2011

---

HP today announced that Google Cloud Print users can print directly to any HP ePrint-enabled printer from any Google Cloud Print supported app on any computer or smartphone.


HP’s portfolio of web-connected and cloud-aware printers for home and business are the first to support Google Cloud Print out of the box.


The combination of Google Cloud Print and HP ePrint printers makes printing from any web, mobile or desktop app that supports Google Cloud Print more intuitive, accessible and useful by eliminating the need for a print driver or PC connection to the printer. Apps supported by Google Cloud print currently include Gmail for Mobile, Google Docs for Mobile and Chrome OS, and will expand to include third-party apps.


“Making it easy for our customers to print where and how they want is a top priority for HP,” said Stephen Nigro, senior vice president, Imaging and Printing Group, HP. “With HP ePrint and cloud-aware printers, you get the best experience printing via Google Cloud Print.”


Users simply add the unique email address of their HP ePrint-enabled Photosmart, Officejet or LaserJet Pro to their Google account, which provides the ability to print easily and securely from Google apps to the selected HP printer.


“Users are rapidly migrating to web and mobile apps, and Google Cloud Print brings full-featured printing capabilities to these apps,” said Mike Jazayeri, director, Product Management, Google. “We are excited that HP has brought the first-generation of cloud-ready printers to market. While cloud printing is possible with any printer that is connected to a PC, users can achieve a more streamlined, intuitive experience by printing directly to a cloud-ready printer.”


A full list of HP printers compatible with Google Cloud Print and more information on HP ePrint is available at www.hp.com/united-states/campaigns/hp-eprint-google-cloud-print/.

Hewlett-Packard is teaming up with the YouTube for a live show in the form known as branded entertainment. The program will be featured on YouTube’s home page from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time on Friday.


The purpose of the show, called “H.P. ePrint Live,” will be to demonstrate a new H.P. technology, ePrint, which enables people who want to print files or photographs to send them from mobile devices to Web-connected H.P. printers, each with a unique e-mail address.


The live stream of the show (youtube.com/hpeprintlive) can also be watched on Facebook (facebook.com/hphome) and on mobile devices (hpeprintlive.mobi).

Best Buy, the H.P. retail partner for the show, will use Facebook, Twitter and e-mail newsletters to encourage its customers to participate.

H.P. is also promoting ePrint in other ways. For instance, printers are being given to stars of reality TV series who are sharing their experiences on blogs and Twitter. Among them are David Bromstad of “Color Splash” on HGTV.


H.P. is also running a campaign for ePrint in traditional media, created by another Omnicom agency, Goodby, Silverstein & Partners in San Francisco. In a television commercial, a file being e-mailed by a man on an island vacation to his printer at work is personified by a chunk of the island that suddenly breaks off and starts floating from the tropics to his office in Manhattan.


“Introducing the new Web-connected printers with ePrint from H.P.,” an announcer says. “Print from any mobile device so your ideas can be there, even when you’re not.”


After “H.P. ePrint Live” ends, the show will be edited into segments that will run as promoted — that is, sponsored — videos on YouTube.


And the performers will continue to create clips based on ideas that consumers submit from Saturday through Jan. 26. The results will be posted on Facebook and YouTube and copies e-mailed to those who had suggested the ideas.
