HP Introduces AI to Printers: Smarter Printing with the New HP Print AI

HP has announced a major innovation in the world of printers, unveiling its new AI-powered HP Print AI experience. This new feature aims to make your printing tasks smarter and more efficient. However, don’t get too excited yet — this breakthrough won’t help with cheaper third-party ink or end those frustrating paper jams. Instead, it focuses on improving print quality and customization using artificial intelligence.

The HP Print AI experience is rolling out today in an “exclusive” beta phase. The new feature includes a tool called Perfect Output, which is designed to enhance webpage printouts by automatically detecting and removing unwanted content such as advertisements or unusual formatting. In short, it ensures that your printout includes only the “desired text and images,” saving paper and ink while providing a cleaner, more readable output.

Optimized Printing and Customization

One of the more practical features of HP Print AI is its ability to optimize spreadsheet printouts. Users will no longer need to worry about charts and tables being awkwardly split between pages — HP Print AI promises to keep these elements intact and on a single page, ensuring a more organized and professional printout.

Additionally, HP is adding creative customization options to its AI-powered printers. Users will be able to engage in “conversational prompts” with the Print AI, allowing them to transform standard photos into personalized greeting cards. By adding custom styles, fonts, and even upscaling images, Print AI offers a whole new level of creativity to your everyday printing tasks.

What’s even more exciting is the ability to automatically remove unwanted objects from images, further enhancing the print quality and visual appeal.

Long-Term Rollout and Unclear Availability

HP has big plans for the future of HP Print AI, with the company promising to release new features throughout 2025. While the initial launch sounds promising, details about which printers will support HP Print AI remain unclear. Additionally, users are still waiting for confirmation on whether they’ll need to install separate software beyond the existing HP Smart printing software.

AI-Powered Printing: A Glimpse of the Future

Although HP hasn’t provided all the answers yet, the prospect of AI-powered printers is certainly intriguing. With the promise of cleaner, more efficient printouts and enhanced customization features, HP Print AI has the potential to significantly improve the everyday printing experience.

As HP continues to refine and expand its Print AI features, users may finally see a smart solution to their printing frustrations. And who knows? Perhaps in the near future, AI could help resolve those paper jams and ink woes that have plagued home and office printers for years.

For now, users can look forward to HP Print AI helping them optimize printouts, personalize designs, and — perhaps most importantly — providing an interface to communicate with when printing frustrations inevitably arise.
