HP+ makes printing simple and smart
READERS' ACTION For most companies, printers are indispensable. But especially for smaller companies, no one has the time or energy to deal with technology. HP offers a complete printing solution that relieves SMBs of this burden. Together with ORGANISATOR, HP invites SMEs to test this solution live in their company for three weeks and report on their experiences. The printers remain in the company at the end of the test period.
With the increasing digitization of business life, documents are hardly ever printed out. With this in mind, anyone who expects printers to gradually become obsolete is sorely mistaken. This is because multifunction devices with their powerful scanners can take on a central role in digital workflow management. According to a survey by Morning Consult, small companies in particular rely on printers for 80 percent of their business. However, more than half of the respondents (55 percent) also said they don't have time to worry about technology.
Simple, safe, sustainable
"Managing printers is not an efficient use of time and energy," says one of the small business owners interviewed, for example. Another commented, "Everything is becoming more and more automated. Maybe that would be an issue with printers, too." HP heard the cry for help from smaller businesses and developed a solution that simplifies printer management, increases productivity, enhances security and promotes sustainability to boot. The result: the HP+ cloud-based printing system.
Print anywhere and with any device
A growing number of inkjet and laser printers are ready for the new solution. It can be set up quickly. Then the "HP Smart" app on the cell phone or the dashboard on the PC shows the ink level and several options for printing processes. The app and PC dashboard are so easy and clear to use that anyone can find their way around immediately. Just as interesting, however, is what's going on behind the scenes. HP+ automatically detects printer problems and fixes them immediately, protects against malware attacks, automatically installs the latest updates, and enables printing from anywhere and from almost any device. This means that documents can be sent from a cell phone to the printer on the way to work. With the "Private Pickup" function activated, the printout is only made when the user is standing next to the printer.
Utility material delivered free of charge
HP+ users get all this and more at no additional cost. Also included is an additional year of manufacturer's warranty and a free six-month trial of HP Instant Ink. HP Instant Ink is HP's ink delivery service that automatically sends a new cartridge when the printer runs out of ink or toner. It also charges transparently per printed page. Both HP Instant Ink and HP+ are committed to consistent sustainability. With the delivery service, fewer cartridges have to be transported. Used materials can be returned free of charge, and HP recycles them professionally. And for users of this solution, HP invests in forest protection and reforestation programs for every page printed.
In view of these benefits, the newspaper "Heute" from Austria concludes after an extensive test: "It is a real all-round carefree package. For those who simply want to take care of the printout and nothing else when it comes to printer, ink and co., HP+ is a perfect fit." Want to see for yourself?

HP is convinced that HP+, as a complete solution, is ideally suited to the everyday needs of SMEs. That is why HP, together with ORGANISATOR, is inviting tenders for two to three tests with the latest generation of laser printers. If you are an SME with a maximum of 50 employees and have at least three printers in operation, you can apply to test a maximum of three HP+-enabled printers. They can keep the HP Laser Jet Pro MFP 4102dwe printers after the test period. In return, in cooperation with the ORGANIZATOR, they will share your experience with HP+-enabled printers, which we will then process in a report of this medium. Two will be drawn from among all participants in the call for entries.
