HP eprint – Sending a print job from abroad

HP eprint is an avant-garde printing technology that enables the completion of printing jobs from wirelessly remote distance. Hewlett Packard (HP), one of the world’s largest technology companies, unveiled three printer models that are connected to internet.

Whether a person is walking near an electronic printer with smartphone/tablet in his/her hand or attending a business meeting out in some foreign country, as long as he/she could email a printing request, printing is not difficult. A printed copy back in the tray of ePrint is a reminder of things to have popped out during a foreign visit.

The models of HP eprint are variable in terms of prices, outputs etc. HP Photosmart Premium Fax e-All-in-One can be employed for print, copy, scan, and fax. Pint apps can be used for printing forms, news, etc. Its fax’s speed dial has a memory to store 90 phone numbers. Officejet Pro 8500 Premium is added with 4.3” color touch screen display and 250-sheet input tray while LaserJetPro CM 1415fnw has 150 automatic document feeder (ADF) instead of 50 ADF.

According to HP, there is no need of supplementary devices to get the eprint done jobs. No special software is needed to send a request. One has to have an email sending machine be it smartphone, tablet, personal computer, or laptop.

One can prevent misuse by registering with the HP ePrintCentre. Yet, an owner should be careful while distributing printer’s unique email addresses. A wrong distribution can lead to wastage of resources.

There are also some limitations: the main server can hold a document for not more than 24 hours. A printer has to be connected to internet before printing job is sent. The maximum limit of email should not exceed 5 MB while only 10 attachments per email are allowed. In addition, a photo is printed with a default size of 4”X 6”.
