eWeek com features HPs NYSE HPQ Web Print Guru

Andrea Orr of eWeek.com has posted an interview with "HPs Web Print Guru", Senior VP David Murphy, head of the HP (NYSE HPQ) Imaging and Printing Groups Web Services and Software group. The piece contains some interesting thoughts on HPs strategy around what its been calling "Print 2.0", notably around past and potential future "growth" acquisitions, including Januarys Exstream deal.

Also interesting to note that while Murphy covers consumer as well as enterprise opportunities, most of the discussion seems to come back to either photo retailers and their efforts, including new photo printing technology for traditional prints, as well as in-store photo books and other novelty items, which may also available for home printing, as exemplified by their Disney/Hannah Montana concert photobook offering. (Interesting that this reminds us that PR value may be a fleeting thing...)

Blog printing is not mentioned. And while some effort continues at HP on this front, the blog printing experiment at TechCrunch that I blogged about last summer (see "TechCrunch getting hard copy") seems to be over.

PS -- Andrea Orr also had an interesting update on HPs Exstream acquisition earlier this month that Id flagged and had been waiting to work into a post. See "HP Exstream Takes Printing Business in New Direction."
