updated 05:35 am EST, Wed March 21, 2001
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 $700 HP LaserJet3200m is a new Mac-compatible all-in-one device that can multitask several functions, including printing, copying, faxing and color scan-to-Web features. 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.
- The HP LaserJet 1200 and 1220 printers, for $530 and $400 respectively, have an optional integrated color scanner/copier accessory that can scan and send color documents via e-mail, convert documents to digital format for editing and storage, and scan color images to the Web. The HP LaserJet 1200 and 1220 models replace the HP LaserJet 1100 and 1100a printers are also due in early April.
