HP Launches First “Plug and Print” Laser Pr inters

HP bolstered the HP LaserJet Pro printer line with a new ”plug and print” technology that allows customers to begin printing in as little as two minutes by simply connecting a netbook, notebook or desktop PC to the printer with a USB cable – no CD required.
New monochrome printers featuring HP Smart Install include the HP LaserJet Pro P1100 Printer series – one of the most energy-efficient laser printers on the planet, the HP LaserJet Pro M1130/M1210 Multifunction Printer (MFP) series and the HP LaserJet Pro P1566/P1606dn Pr inter series.
“Our customers demand easy printing and we’re giving it to them – no clumsy CD-ROMs to install, no drivers to download. HP Smart Install offers the future of printing, today,” said Ron Coughlin, senior vice president, LaserJet and Enterprise Solutions, Imaging and Printing Group, HP.  
HP also unveiled the HP Scanjet Professional 1000 Mobile Scanner and two HP Colour LaserJet Professional series - the CP5225 and CP4020.  The Scanjet Professional 1000 is the company’s first portable scanner for fast, on-the-go scanning without the need for batteries or an AC adapter.  The CP5225 is HP’s most affordable and versatile colour LaserJet to date and the CP4020 makes colour printing easy.
The new HP LaserJet Pro lineup features a sleek, black finish and delivers professional, cost-effective results while enabling small and midsize businesses (SMBs) to reduce their environmental impact.
The printers feature new HP Auto-On Technology, which intelligently senses activity – such as when a print job is sent to the printer and awakens the device automatically from “off” mode. It complements HP Auto-Off Technology, which automatically adjusts the power settings and turns the printer off when there is no print activity.
With HP Auto-On/Auto-Off Technology, the new HP LaserJet P1100 Pr inter series can save up to 72 percent on energy costs versus its predecessor. The printers also use original HP LaserJet print cartridges with energy-efficient toner for energy savings of up to 35 percent on every page versus earlier products.
The affordable, ultracompact HP LaserJet Pro P1100 Printer series (109€ -129€) features wireless functionality and is the company’s smallest, most affordable laser printer. Offering fast print speeds, professional print quality, an intuitive control panel and HP Auto-On/Auto-Off technology, HP LaserJet P1102 and P1102w printers help customers affordably increase efficiency.
