KITCHENER, ON, April 21, 2010 – PrinterOn® is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with HP to allow users of HP ePrint to search and print to the PrinterOn public network of printers called PrintSpots®.
The HP ePrint application for public print locations enables users to print from their BlackBerry® smartphones while they are on the go. Many HP ePrint locations are powered by the PrinterOn network of public printers called PrintSpots. PrinterOn is HP’s print network partner for relevant print locations, including today’s announcement with Hilton Worldwide.
“Today’s announcement is a major step towards the worldwide adoption of mobile printing from smartphones,” said Ken Noreikis, Vice President Sales & Marketing, PrinterOn Corporation. “Our collaboration with HP, the world’s largest technology company, will facilitate this adoption by enterprise mobile professionals and help increase their productivity by allowing them to print simply and easily on the go to PrinterOn PrintSpots locations worldwide.”
More than 1,300 hotels in the Hilton Worldwide portfolio of brands will have PrintSpots accessible via HP ePrint including Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, Hilton Hotels, Doubletree, Embassy Suites Hotels, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Hotels and Homewood Suites by Hilton.
“We are always looking for innovative ways to meet our guests’ needs, and HP’s ePrint application provides them with on-the-go and convenient technology,” said Robert Webb, Chief Information Officer, Hilton Worldwide. “Using HP ePrint, guests can quickly print out e-mail, spreadsheets or other documents from their BlackBerry smartphones while waiting for the hotel elevator, and by the time they get downstairs, their copies will be ready for them to pick up.”
The users of HP ePrint will not only have access to all of the Hilton PrintSpot locations, but they will be able to search and print to thousands of other printers within the PrintSpots public print network located at hotels, airports, cafes and public libraries. This gives the BlackBerry smartphone user the freedom and choice to print at locations convenient to them wherever they are.
“Accessibility to almost everything is at the touch of a button on mobile devices, and printing documents should be no different,” said John Tomesco, Vice President of Market Development and Worldwide Enterprise Sales, Imaging and Printing Group, HP. “By working with companies like PrinterOn Corporation, we are able to provide our enterprise customers with technology such as the HP ePrint application on their BlackBerry smartphones, enabling them to print remotely in convenient locations all around the globe.”
