Pros And Cons Of Web Connected Printers – Analysis Of New Hp Photosmart Premium

Hewlett-Packard has long been a pioneer in the consumer printing industry, having come up with many printing innovations in the last two decades or so. The HP Photosmart Premium is another one of these innovations, and this one makes history for being the first web-connected printer that the world has ever seen.So, what does it mean for HP Photosmart Premium to be a web-connected printer? Moreover, what does it mean for us to be able to have web-connected printing?The Features of the HP Photosmart PremiumIn many respects, this newest model of the HP Photosmart line of printers is just like any multifunctional inkjet printer out there. It can fax, copy and scan documents on top of printing them. And because this printer carries the HP logo, anyone can expect the documents it produces to be of peerless quality, whether it is a plain document or a photo print.What sets this printer apart is the fact that you can browse the Internet on it without the need for the machine to be co
nnected to a computer. With the use of applications from the HP App Suite, you can access popular websites such as Google Maps, USA Today, Coupons.com, Web Sudoku, Nickelodeon, DreamWorks Animation and other HP partner websites. You can then print content you want from these websites directly.The Pros of the HP Photosmart PremiumThe main advantage of the HP Photosmart Premium is that it allows the printer to become an independent gadget in its right rather than being a simple computer peripheral as it had been typecast since the printer was first invented. You will no longer be dependent on the computer to be able to print documents from the Internet.What this means for the user is that there are now more printing options available with this new web-connected printing technology. It is empowering to have more printing choices and to have printing available on demand.This is development is also great in terms of green printing. With such a web-connected printer no longer depe
ndent on a computer, its users can save a little bit on energy consumption. The computer can stay off even when the printer is in use.The Cons of the HP Photosmart PremiumThe HP Photosmart Premium is without its share of disadvantages, as innovative and groundbreaking as it is. Will HP allow only apps sold from the HP App Store to be installed in this printer or will it grant access to third-party apps that users will definitely come up with in the future? It certainly posits questions and challenges to the idea of free Internet.This is the only major concern so far. Minor concerns include limitations on the Snapfish accounts that HP will set up for uploading pictures online directly from the printer. One wonders if HP will let the user upload images to other file sharing sites like Photobucket.com through the HP Photosmart Printer.The HP Photosmart Premium is definitely worth being excited about. The idea of a web-connected printer is marvelous, to say the least. It makes h
istory and it will change the way we print our documents forever.
