Industry’s Strongest Portfolio of A3 Multifunction
Printers
Today HP announced it has expanded its A3 multifunction printer
line, now including new PageWide A3 skus for both transactional and

premier partners on-boarded, the company is continuing to deliver a
powerful customer experience by offering affordable color via HP’s
PageWide printing technology and outstanding device uptime through
Smart Device Services.

of Samsung’s print business in November 2017, the company today
stated that its Suwon, Korea location is now officially named “HP
Printing Korea.”
New HP Accessibility Assistant Empowers People with
Disabilities
Engaging with printing technology in the office is becoming
easier than ever for people with disabilities and age-related
limitations. Today HP announced at Executive Forum that it has
reinvented the standards of voice command and screen reader support
for workers with disabilities through the new HP Accessibility
Assistant. The HP Accessibility Assistant is built on
transformative innovation leveraging conversational voice
technology that improves the usability of HP products for people
with a range of cognitive, physical and vision-related abilities.
It is anticipated to be available in Spring 2018 to a wide
selection of A3/A4 HP Enterprise-class devices via the latest
firmware version of Future Smart 4.
HP is dedicated to creating an inclusive environment focused on
connecting people throughout the world to the power of technology.
As part of that commitment, HP will continue to improve the
universal design of its products and services to make its
technology accessible everyone, everywhere.
Accelerating the World’s Most Secure
Printers1
Print is at the core of the modern office, and security is the
foundation. At Executive Forum, HP also announced it is extending
its print security leadership with enhanced integration into
existing IT security monitoring tools frequently used for PCs
including SIEM and endpoint protection and management platforms
like Microsoft® SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager).
Printer endpoint security is vital to the health of the broader
IT network infrastructure, and so HP has expanded its current
security management tools integration with Splunk, ArcSight, and
SIEMonster to now include McAfee’s SIEM. HP is the only
manufacturer to offer integration of printer security compliance
and event data with these management and monitoring tools.
The company is making it easier to secure printer endpoints
alongside PCs, regardless of customer size or industry, improving
the overall security posture of the entire network, not just the
print infrastructure.
By ensuring that printers are treated just like any other
endpoint on the network and managed using the same tools for PCs,
HP’s devices are the easiest fleet to secure and manage in the
industry.
In addition, HP announced a new endpoint security sales and
technical certification training that is anticipated to be
available for channel partners beginning May 1, 2018.
International Expansion of HP Voice-Activated
Printing
Building on the success of HP printer compatibility in the U.S.
with all three major smart speaker platforms – Amazon Alexa, the
Google Assistant and Microsoft Cortana – HP Voice will be expanding
internationally. This April, voice assistant support in the U.K.,
Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and India will become connected to
HP printers. More information on HP Voice-Activated Printing is
