HP Announces New Firmware Update

HP has announced the release of a new firmware update for its latest generation of select networked HP LaserJet printers, giving customers increased capabilities to conduct business. Customers with the latest generation of HP LaserJet printers supporting HP ePrint and HP Business Apps will be able to download the update and begin using the innovative print solutions immediately.

HP ePrint technology provides SMB customers with the ability to print from any mobile device by simply sending their documents – from emails, contracts and photos – directly to any ePrint-enabled LaserJet printer. Every HP LaserJet printer has a unique email address that allows the sender to deliver a print in the same way they would send a message. Customers can send documents to print to any ePrint-enabled LaserJet printer, whether that printer is in the home, the office or an HP ePrint public print location like Fedex Office. The firmware update for HP ePrint is currently available on six HP LaserJet printers, with more on the way.



HP Business Apps are accessible via the touchscreen display of select HP LaserJet printers and include a number of solutions that increase productivity and enhance workflow, including printing marketing materials, business forms and stored online documents without a PC. Customers can also use the touchscreen display to explore new services and customize their printing experience on the HP ePrintCenter, an online hub for users to register and configure their products and receive updates according to their preferences, track ePrint jobs, and browse new print apps.

“HP ePrint and HP Business Apps are ready to meet the evolving needs of our SMB customers in a changing digital landscape,” said Rick Seymour, Vice President and General Manager of HP LaserJet Transaction Products and Supplies and Customer Assurance.



Customers with HP LaserJet printers supporting HP ePrint and HP Business Apps can download the firmware update through their PC, with installation on HP LaserJet printers taking just a few minutes. Once the new firmware is installed, customers will be able to print from any email-capable device immediately using HP ePrint, as well as access HP ePrintCenter to download HP Business Apps. Customers who previously purchased HP LaserJet printers supporting HP ePrint and HP Business Apps will receive an email alerting them to the new firmware update. All HP LaserJet printers supporting HP ePrint and HP Business Apps that were manufactured after the availability of the new firmware will be shipped with the functionality and will not have to be manually updated. More information on the firmware update is available at www.hp.com/go/eprint.

Additional information about HP ePrint and HP Business Apps is available from the HP ePrintCenter at www.hp.com/go/ePrintCenter
