Scalable solutions for remote printer fleet management include HP Advance, a new integrated platform to manage HP Access Control, HP Access Control Scan, HP Mobile Connector and HP Direct Print from a single control panel.
The company also announced that the HP Command Center, a tool for cloud application deployment and management, can now also enable fleet onboarding, saving time and freeing up IT resources, as reported in a release.
The HP Workpath ecosystem, which enables workers to connect to cloud-based platforms directly from the MFP, has a new go-to-market model that simplifies access to third-party applications. By having the order and payment process processed through the HP Command Center, you have access to a wider range of applications centrally.
HP also offers free 90-day trials for capabilities that help minimize contact with printers. In this sense, HP contactless printing allows workers to use their ID card to pick up a print job without having to touch the control panel.
The company is also expanding HP Roam to LaserJet Pro devices, making it easy to print on the go from a mobile device to any HP Roam-enabled printer. And it has enhanced its HP SecurePrint service, a flexible, cloud-native solution that releases documents only to authorized users.
For its part, HP SecurePrint now supports all types of networks, including traditional networks behind a ‘firewall’, as well as serverless printing environments, helping customers to simplify IT infrastructures.
HP Instant Ink, which has seven million users, has also become a common option for telecommuters from home, as the company points out. This subscription service automatically detects when a customer is running out of ink and sends new cartridges through the mail without leaving home.
