Print from the Web--Without a PC

Monday June 22, 2009
HP has announced that later this year, it will release the world's first Web-connected home printer. The HP Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web uses HP apps that allow users "to connect instantly with fun, informative and personal content," the company says. The first app partners are USA Today, Google, Fandango, Coupons.com, DreamWorks Animation, Nickolodeon, Web Sudoku, and Weathernews Inc. So, even without a computer, you'll be able to download and print maps, news, movie tickets, coloring books, and a host of other fun stuff. Finding content using the printer's 4.33-inch touchscreen should be easy--HP says it's "the largest LCD touchscreen of any all-in-one inkjet printer on the market." Expect to see the HP Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web retail for under $400.
