Now where's my "should have never been born" spray? ]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/
Seriously? Just e-mail?

While I admit that this IS kinda cool with no apps or drivers, my Print n Share App will let me print emails, photos, webpages, and documents directly from either my iPhone or iPad to my Wireless HP Printer.

Its funny because my printer looks exactly like that one.]]>Jun 29th 2010 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/Jun 29th 2010 5:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/

Either a whitelist or you have to enter some specific code in the email or it replys to you and you have to reply back with a captcha. Lots of ways to do it I guess.

Plus I think it only prints attachments which most spam wouldn't have.]]>Jun 29th 2010 5:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/HP explains how this exactly works:

If you don't have a wifi printer you can share the printer via a computer's connection by enabling print sharing. Again, no special software required. ]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/
These are still just bad hacks to make up for the fact that the Phone version of BSD doesn't support the same printing framework that the desktop version of BSD does. Any printer on my home network exposed through CUPS should already be easy peasy.

The fact that any one would tout these bad hacks (like AirSharing) as a real solution is truely sad.]]>Jun 29th 2010 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/Jun 29th 2010 5:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/

Do you even know what the word 'inherent' means?

There is no 'inherent' printing problem, it was a software decision on Apple's part, which they have already said, they will resolve with future OS updates.

And you're whining that... HP has come forward with a solution in lieu of Apple's software update.

I would envision cloud printing working somewhat like this:

1.) HP sets up a site called cloudprint.hp.com
2.) Your printer connects to said website and registers itself
3.) You go to the site, create a login, and find your printer by it's serial number or something along those lines
4.) You can now go to couldprint.hp.com and login with any device (must use HTTPS) -- from here you can upload documents thru a web interface, crop \ edit, adjust formatting, etc..]]>Jun 29th 2010 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/Your method produces the same results with more complication. The same document you would "upload" could just be simply emailed to the printer. 2 Steps:

1) Attach document
2) Send Email

Plus, uploading documents requires file browsing, which is difficult on some smartphones (the main focus),meaning you would have to hunt for your document on your phone wasting more time. Also, this isn't designed to be a permanent print solution, so if you need to crop\edit etc. you would be better off using a computer.

and -- a web app is too complicated? OK, let's simplify things.
I have a 55 page PDF on my phone, and I want pages 22 to 25 printed. How am I going to accomplish that with emailing an attachment? It's going to print out all 55 pages.

Also what about color settings, quality, paper settings, ink monitoring, etc? Web connected printers need a web application to go along with them, it's just that simple.]]>Jun 29th 2010 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/Jun 29th 2010 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/90% of businesses use windows (SMB) printers.
iPad can only print to CUPS printers, and it requires a 3rd party app.
Plus add that to the fact that the iPad has no real filesystem, so you can't go to a website in safari and download a document and then print it...you have to accomplish everything through that 3rd party app. ]]>Jun 29th 2010 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/
Well. The iPhone/iPad does have a real filesystem. Apple just chooses to hide it.

This is a good demonstration of the principle that it is much easier to design and build something right the first time rather than go back and try to "fix" it afterwards.]]>Jun 29th 2010 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/Jun 29th 2010 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/Jun 29th 2010 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/Jun 29th 2010 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/hp-photosmart-e-all-in-one-with-eprint-now-on-sale-ipad-printin/
