Hewlett Packard (HP) announced on Monday that their latest range of printers will let users print remotely using mobile phones and other wireless devices, without needing a traditional PC. HP's Inkjet and Laserjet lines along with other consumer and enterprise-level printers will have the capability, called ePrint, to print from Web-connected devices. Printers with the ePrint capability will be assigned its own e-mail address. So, if someone wants to print a document from an iPhone, the document will go to HP's data center, where it is rendered into the correct format, and then sent to the person's printer.

Live Nation, for example, will have a customized application to print items such as concert tickets and logistical information.
