Congrats to the winner: Michele McLaughlin
During the month of June, I was able to attend several “Holidays in June” type events. That’s where various companies showcase the products that they are focusing on for the fall/holiday season. One such event was “HP’s Holidays in June”. The highlight (to me) of the showcase was HP’s new web-connected printer, the HP Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web Printer. It’s the world’s first web-connected home printer. I came home and shared with my husband that he would love this printer because it easily prints out correctly-formatted maps. (We have a GPS, but my husband always likes to have directions on paper also…just in case.)
I have not had a chance to officially “review” the printer, but I’ll let you know what stood out to me while using it at the holiday event:
-The web control panel on the printer comes pre-loaded with HP applications. (I’m not a huge fan of having to download everything!) These applications make it easy to print maps, coupons, movie tickets, etc. (I printed out a map and a coupon.)
- HP has established partners. Google, DreamWorks Animation, Fandango, Coupons.com and others are already a part of the applications. (I actually watched a movie trailer on the panel.)
- You can print photos from Snapfish (if you use that site) directly from this printer.
- It has multiple uses. Along with the fun web feature, the printer also prints, faxes, copies and scans.
Earlier this month, HP reached out to me regarding the printer. They want to get a better sense of what printing applications would be helpful to you and your family. So, here’s your chance for an early holiday present…for responding, one lucky Mom in the City reader will win their very own HP Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web (valued at $399)!
