Are these Printers ?





Once upon a time it was all about printers everywhere and anywhere you go. But now , its not just printers, but something more than that. Now-a-days the printer manufacturers have started reinventing their products - accessing the Internet to web enable the digital imaging process.

On monday, Hewlett Packard unveiled its 2 laser printers for shared corporate sector. These printers have in them many new web-enabled features that are being collectively called as Print 2 - a reflection of Web 2.0

The P1505 series Laserjet prints the first print out in less than 6.5 seconds to give an overall average of 24 prints per minute. Different models cost 9,999 and 14,999 - the latter one is compatible with Linux too !

The M2727 series is a multi-functional printer-scan-fax copy machine that allows one to directly e-mail the scanned document. These models are priced at 45,000 and 55,000. A 'Smart' cartridge is also provided to monitor and optimize the toner usage in both these models.

The new web based features include downloadable 'universal' drivers for a whole class of printers, free online tools and other accessories to help small enterprises create their own professional documents and 'Smart Web Printing' software that makes printing web pages more effecient and good printing.
