Setting up ePrint
By JimC • Sep 30th, 2010 • Category: HP Printer Tech TipsNewer HP printers offer a revolutionary technology called ePrint. Though a plethora of printers come with ePrint, each one must have ePrint enabled in order to work. The tricky thing is that most people have no idea what ePrint is, its uses or how to set it up.
So what is ePrint exactly? It is a new technology that gives you the ability to print anywhere. How does it work? It works by you emailing documents and photos to your printer through a mobile device. It sounds convenient doesn’t it?
In order to set this up, your printer must be connected to the internet. For most e-Print capable printers, just press the wrench button and then click the “wireless” option. After that click on “enable web services”, and that’s all it takes! You are officially set up to ePrint.
You need to know the printer’s email address to send emails, click the “web services settings” button and then click on “display email address”. You can also register your printer on the HP ePrintCenter for added features.
Now that you’re on-the-go, you’re ready to print. If you’re out and about, all you have to do is send an email from your email-capable phone to the printer using the printer’s email address. Microsoft Word documents, images, Excel documents, PDFs, photos and PowerPoint documents can all be printed at the touch of a button. If you are worried your email isn’t supported, you shouldn’t—ePrint works fine with Outlook, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, Apple Mail, AOL Mail, Nokia Mail and BlackBerry Mail.
If you think sending is easy, you haven’t seen anything yet, because receiving is even easier. You literally don’t have to do anything except take the finished product out of the printer. If you send a print job to your printer, it prints! There’s nothing complicated about this new, convenient technology.
