HP has introduced a series of LaserJet printers with new integrated Web functions that "allow customers to scan documents directly to the Web, remotely manage printers and supplies, and print information directly from wireless devices."

• Its new Mac-compatible high-performance workgroup printer, the HP LaserJet 4100, has new technology that allows it to execute Java applications for interacting with e-services, cell phones and handheld devices. The printer offers Adobe PostScript Level 2 emulation and also includes a smart chip print cartridge and an embedded Web server allow for remote printer management and supplies ordering via the Internet. The $1100 printer, available immediately, replaces the HP LaserJet 4050 printer.

The HP LaserJet 3200m AIO supports Mac users, is due in early April, and replaces the HP LaserJet 3150 AIO. (A $600 3200 version only offers Window-compatibility.)
  
  
• The HP LaserJet 2200 printer has an infrared port for wireless printing from mobile devices and offers Web-based, remote management of basic printer and network configurations. The $800 printer is due in early April and replaces the 2100 series.
