I'm interested in understanding your thoughts about a user will experience the cloud but at the same time want to protect their privacy. Even if you don't store your "private" pc info in the 'cloud' yet, it's being indexed if you use tools like google desktop. Do users realize, and want that?

Patrick, I have a product that would enable HP to grow its managed print services scope beyond the front office into the backoffice. I have not been able to contact someone in VJ's or John's group to discuss this with them. DO you have any contact info that I could try. Thanks Ian Stewart OPIN Systems

Does remote printing helps us to print directly to printer without PC proxy. Thanks Kiran

There is a lot of value in using existing printers and mobiles to deliver innovative core services.

In addition, if HP can bring even better end to end user experience by integrating specific capabilities in his printer 2.0 or HP/Nokia handset or HP mobile services, this brings additional HP business dimensions. Well that is what I am looking for :how can we can interconnect different HP world and entities. I would be very interested in understanding how documents are printed from your mobile.

Thanks for coming with these new ideas

xabi302, Thanks for your interest in CloudPrint. Now, the CloudPrint software comes with the Remote Print Monitor. Install it on your PC and enter your phone number, and you can automatically turn your home printer into a "networked printer," accessible from anywhere in the world. One nice feature is that you do not need to install any software on your phone. You can print CloudPrint documents from your own mobile device or from another PC to your home printer easily this way.

The real power of cloudprint is that it works on all printers - even existing printers. Embedding and codifying the solution in printer hardware will make sense once the model starts to mature. Cloudprint is in the true web 2.0 spirit - put quality things out there early, watch how people react, and quickly adapt -- web software is better suited for that dynamic than firmware. That being said, the ability to send directly to a printer without a PC proxy is obviously a high desire and on the Cloudprint radar. The future of embedding is dependant on the direction the community takes Cloudprint.

Mr. Scaglia, does HP plans in near future to make a networked printer, a "internet-ready printer", so you can directly put the SMS code on it, so you don't have to access internet by a PC or mobile device? Thanks

Hello Patrick, My understanding of The CloudPrint value proposition is to offer an easy way to share document for printing among a group of person from a PC and use a mobile device for alerting them. Technically, it automates the chain, hide the server repository and them manage real time the access rights to that document (what a sharepoint is not doing). We (OpenCall) have been working on mobile user experience in our OpenCall Instant Communication solution developing server solutions as well as Symbian client expertise to validate key concepts on how to bring simplicity (or hide complexity) for new mobile value proposition. I may not be aware of the planned evolutions of the cloudprint service, so some proposals may already be available or are being developed. It is key that service remains simple and easy to use. Using smartphone would naturally bring an even more compelling story by potentially allowing the end user to acces the document from his mobile and trigger the print from his mobile handset (giving up the PC). That would then require to detect the closest bluetooth printer (sense your environement ?) and then request a print from the handset. This also means that printer should be able to get a request from the handset with reference to that document (url?) and login method via bluetooth. As there is no printer driver on all handsets like the symbian ones, either the printer must be able to directly digest most popular document formats (and not printer ready file like postscrip) or get help from servers to format the document. Eiminating the need to install printer driver on the client side for most popular document formats is a key requirement. I think that there has been some work done bewteen Nokia and HP to have picture captured by the phone being printed on HP printer via bluetooth. So HP printer are now capable of "digesting" jpeg format We (OpenCall) would certainly be interested in integrating such printing capabilities (through cloudprint as well as snapfish) )in our Instant Communication mobile services that already integrate sharing capability among personal communities , group alerting, dynamic creation of remote repository of whatever content and communication services like group IM, audio/video conferences and push content. All this is directly managed on the handset eliminating the need to have a PC when traveling. Somehow, I think that the same can apply to powerpoint document and video projectors. If we could control powerpoint slide show from the mobile by transmitting the file to the projector (via bluetooth) or having it stored in cloudprint and then control the slideset fom the handset. No need to bring your laptop and remote IR control There is a lot of diversity and expertises within HP, let's combine them to bring innovation that eases people 's life. Jean-philippe

Dear Mr. Scaglia, I really enjoyed your You Tube video on the demonstration of Cloudprint, how come you did not use the HP Feedroom or better yet upload the same video to that service? My other question is in regards to promotion. Are there future plans to have documentation on Cloudprint in cell phone carrier's stores or included with their PDA / Smartphone packaging? I am also curious to know if documentation will be included with the new PDAs that HP has developed.

Perhaps you (or HP) should register cloudprint.com ?

I was struck by how many different things were being called platforms at the show; however, I generally see this as a very good thing since they were all in support of this "conversation economy" that you refer to above (more thoughts on that here: http://theonda.org/articles/2007/09/01/print-20-observations). Plus the best thing is that we (the industry) seem to be collectively working to try to figure this out in a way that makes it very fun to come to work in the morning.
