While mobile phones have slowly added in a lot of features that are typical of a desktop computer, some of them have taken time to arrive – and one of these areas is printing. Partly this is because the applications that would use printing (such as office application suites) have been working on more obvious functionality (round tripping files without losing formatting, to continue the office example), but as packages such as Quickoffice and Documents to Go improve, the lure of printing from a mobile device has increased.
Bill Neill is the Strategic Business Development manager at Software Imaging, the team behind the EasyPrint Mobile Solution. It’s not currently available to end-users, but is on offer to application developers (and handset manufacturers) as a programming plug-in, to provide the printing experience as required.
Software Imaging have a long history in the software/support market of printing, and I spoke to Neill about this at the recent Smartphone Show, on why the move to mobile, and when we can expect to be using the EasyMobile Printing System on our devices.
