							1 Introduction
What is HP ePrint & Share?
HP ePrint & Share is designed to streamline design document printing and sharing for HP Designjet and
LaserJet users. With one simple tool, you can:
●Print documents on any HP Designjet or LaserJet printer to which you have a network or USB
connection, with an accurate print preview. No printer driver is needed.
●Share files of any type with specific colleagues, without needing to send the files by email.
●Automatically and effortlessly add your printed, scanned and shared files (and files shared with
you by others) to a personal Internet repository (the Library) that you can access wherever you are.
●Easily print, share, download, organize, sort or delete files that are already in the Library.
HP ePrint & Share has been designed to work fully integrated with AutoCAD, but it is suitable for use
with all applications.
Who is a typical user of HP ePrint & Share?
HP ePrint & Share has been designed for professionals who work in collaborative projects on printed
paper, and interact together through the Internet or face-to-face; people such as architects, engineers
and designers. It makes publishing fast, with easy access to prints and printers from any location. It is a
mobile solution that keeps project teams, working remotely, literally all on the same page.
What are the components of HP ePrint & Share?
HP ePrint & Share consists of the following components.
●HP ePrint & Share Library: This is your personal online collection of printer-friendly files
stored on the HP ePrint & Share server. All the files you decide to print and/or share are stored in
your Library. As long as you have access to the Web, you can reprint from or share the contents
of your Library with your colleagues.
●HP ePrint & Share Printing Tool: The main printing and sharing tool of the HP ePrint & Share
ecosystem. Unlike an ordinary printer driver, it offers:
◦A true print preview: In which you can see how the print will render on paper on a
specific printer for a right-first-time experience.
◦Simple layout settings: Including rotation, scaling and clipping preview to help you save
paper.

							◦Multiprinter: One tool for all your HP Designjets and LaserJets, avoiding the installation of
multiple drivers. For a complete list of printers compatible with the HP ePrint & Share Printing
Tool, see 
https://h30510.www3.hp.com/public/features/.
◦Uploading: To save print-ready and other types of files to your Library, so you can access
them later through a Web browser for instant reprinting or sharing with your colleagues.
◦Sharing: Provides your partners and collaborators with access to the files in your Library.
●HP ePrint & Share plug-ins: These are application-specific printing plug-ins, they allow you to
print more easily from some of your favorite applications: AutoCAD, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint,
Word and direct printing from Windows Explorer. The AutoCAD plug-in is especially easy to use.
●HP Designjet Go Web: A virtual printer driver that allows you to create a print-ready file (PLT)
and manage it in the HP ePrint & Share Printing Tool from any Windows application, even if a
specific printing plug-in for that application does not exist.
