The Pogoplug keeps getting better and better, and this time around, it promises to remove the shackles from your desktop printer and allow you to put ink to paper from anywhere you access Pogoplug - from your iPad, iPhone, Android phone, laptop, and more.

This feature, which will be available to all Pogoplug users free of charge later this summer, will work initially on all HP and EPSON printers that were released in 2005 or later.  You won't have to install any drivers or programs, either... just plug the printer in to the USB ports on the Pogoplug and you're good to go.

Full Press Release:

Pogoplug, the popular multimedia sharing device, today announced a major upgrade with the launch of Pogoplug “web printing.” Now, for the first time, users can print from an iPhone, iPad, Android or other mobile device from anywhere in the world. 

“Pogoplug’s vision is to free the modern digital lifestyle from dependence on an always-on home or office computer,” said Daniel Putterman, CEO and co-founder of Cloud Engines, Inc.  “First we changed the way people think about personal storage by making every hard drive accessible over the Internet. Now we're web-enabling printers.”

Pogoplug cloud printing will initially support all HP printer models and all Epson printers released since 2005.  Set-up is simple and straightforward; once a printer is connected to a Pogoplug, it is ready to use.

Additionally, users can email any document directly to their Pogoplug for printing.  Printers can be shared with friends, family and colleagues or used to create printer ‘hotspots’ for temporary access to a printer in a public location.

The new Pogoplug “cloud printing” feature is coming automatically to existing and future Pogoplug customers later this Summer. There are no fees for the new feature.
