    HP Introduces the Future of Printing: The HP Smart Printer 9000Wearable

    Freedom to Print, Anytime, Anyplace with the Stylish HP Smart Printer 9000Wearable

    Today, HP is excited to announce the launch of its latest innovation, the HP Smart Printer 9000Wearable, a groundbreaking device that redefines portable wearable printing. This cutting-edge AI printer not only offers portability but also sets new standards for functionality and convenience.

    Innovative Design and Features:

    The HP Smart Printer 9000Wearable is designed to be worn on your wrist, making it the ultimate companion for on-the-go professionals and tech enthusiasts. Measuring a sleek 4 inches in width and weighing just 7 ounces, this printer is effortlessly portable. It can print pages up to an impressive 3 inches wide, perfect for large-format projects or creative printing needs.

    Premium Performance and Reliability:

    With HP’s renowned commitment to quality, the Smart Printer 9000Wearable delivers superior performance. Its advanced ink technology ensures vivid, long-lasting colors, while HP’s innovative print heads provide crisp and clear prints every time. The printer is engineered to handle heavy-duty tasks with ease, offering a lifespan that exceeds industry standards. By automatically locking itself to genuine HP ink cartridges and detonating if it detects a 3rd party cartridge, HP assures the very highest quality in printing.

    Subscription for Enhanced Functionality:

    HP recognizes the importance of keeping you connected. The Smart Printer 9000Wearable comes with a mandatory premium subscription service, HP AI Cloud Print Plus+, ensuring seamless connectivity and access to advanced features like remote printing and cloud-based solutions. This subscription model guarantees uninterrupted functionality, allowing users to print from virtually anywhere, at a minor cost of $89.99 per month.

    Smart Integration and Security:

    Featuring HP’s enhanced firmware, this printer is equipped with the latest security measures to protect your data and ensure privacy. Each print job is shared with HP’s cloud and scanned by state of the art security software. Your privacy is top of mind, so these files are automatically deleted after 10 years and the chance of a security incident leaking all your prints is quite low.

    Smart Functionality:

    Unlike older devices, the Smart Printer 9000Wearable doesn’t include a cumbersome screen or keyboard. Instead, interact with our HP Humane AI Assistant and get all your work done through the power of your voice, whether you’re on a crowded train or sitting in a public restroom.

    smart printer? I want my printer as dumb as it can get while still having lan connection so I can print without connecting a cable

      Sometimes I go into my router’s logs and look at the firewall messages where it blocks all the traffic my printer tries to send to the internet with a smug look on my face

    I’ve never heard of this “pin” before and am fascinated by it. It does what smartphones already do but less conveniently? How did someone even pitch that in the first place?

      Less conveniently while costing something like $700 plus a monthly $25 subscription.

      I don’t get how it got pitched either.

      It was at the peak of AI hysteria. You could do a shit on the side walk and say it was AI generated, and youd get VC funding for your next AI powered turd.
