HP announced its new Smart Web Printing, a free downloadable software tool that is changing the way people use the internet, giving web users new ways to clip, print, store and reuse information.
The company said the application, available with all new HP printers and downloadable from the HP website, is a highly intuitive tool that selects and isolates only the parts of the web that users want, cutting out all unnecessary ads, text and images and saving information for later use.
HP Smart Web Printing takes users right to the information they need. Until now, the only way to save this information has been to bookmark the entire site - possibly losing track of the original piece of data - or selecting text and transferring to another program such as Word.
This new tool makes using web information easy and intuitive. Users can 'clip' the information they need by turning on the HP Smart Select tool and highlighting any section of the web page, and then print that information straight away.
The clip book also serves as a bookmark library - users simply double click on the clip to jump back to the relevant part of the original site. Or if they want to get creative with their clippings, they can build an entirely different document which they can edit, save or print. The finished document can even be saved as a PDF for easy e-mailing to friends and colleagues.
Smart Web Printing helps combat waste in web printing, potentially saving ink, paper and money. Instead of printing out pages for later reference, users can add them to their clip book. They will also save paper by selecting and printing only what they need, HP said.
