HP also announced that its Tabblo subsidiary, which HP acquired in March, would develop a Web toolkit to make it easier to print content from Web sites.

What HP calls "Print 2.0" is made up of three principles: to make it easier to print from websites, such as blogs and travel sites, and bring new printing capabilities to online properties; to extend the company's digital content creation and publishing platforms – for example, Snapfish and Logoworks – across customer segments spanning from consumers to enterprises; and to deliver a digital printing platform that increases print speeds and lowers the cost of printing for high-volume commercial markets.

"Today, we're introducing a new era in printing. We're redefining what it means to print and further accelerating the transformation from analog to digital printed pages," said Vyomesh Joshi, executive vice president of the company's Imaging and Printing Group, in a statement. "In today's world of 'mashed media' – words, pictures, video, songs – the question becomes 'How will people publish this content?' Print 2.0 is the answer. This vision centers on empowering our customers to create and consume their content, their way."

On June 29, HP will release a plugin to allow the company's Movable Type blogging software to add "print" buttons to their pages. On the same day, the Tabblo template will become available, to allow users to pick and choose content off of a Web page to print.

I am eagerly waiting for a similar blogger feature.
