“As we extend the HP Public Print Location network to include Walgreens, customers and partners will have greater access to convenient and flexible printing solutions as they need it,” said John Tomesco, vice president, Worldwide Enterprise Business Development, Printing and Personal Systems, HP.
Printing at Walgreens is expected in future versions of the ePrint Service app for BlackBerry and Android.
The HP ePrint Service application for smartphones and tablets is available for download at HP. HP is the only company that makes it easy for customers to securely print from their mobile devices to both HP and non-HP printers at work and while on the go by geolocating nearby locations.
