My Son Explores Wireless Printing !!


My son, who runs a small business passes this along, so if you are in the market for a new printer for any of your computer-like devices read on.

He bought a new printer for his home-office 2 days ago. The old one died on him.  He got a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. It’s a wireless computer and the setup for connecting to his wireless network at his house and it was so easy he couldn’t believe it.

The printer found his network and connected in the touch of one button. It came with an Eprint feature where the computer was assigned an email address that he can forward documents to and it will automatically print them. It has other Apps installed on the printer for various things. Then he accessed Google Cloud print. From his portable computer it went out and found the printer and added it to his list of printers on the cloud.

He has an android phone and a Gmail account so he added the Cloud print app to his phone and now when he wants to print something form his phone he just selects the item and hits "print" on the phone,  and no matter where he is, it sends the request to the printer and when he returns home the documents will be sitting on the printer tray. The Google cloud also lets him store documents to it for retrieval anywhere as well. "Pretty amazing where the technology is going", he says. 

I agree !!  Please add your comments and favorite printer recommendations.
