HP just released ePrint which allows you to search for, locate, and print to HP ePrint mobile print location service partners. These are public locations that are available through HP's cloud-based network. Right now there are over 1,800 locations that mostly consist of FedEx offices and hotels.

Supported files are Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Adobe PDF, images, plain text, and HTML.

To print to a support mobile public location:

1. Open the HP ePrint service app and select the content you want to print (email, web page, photo, Files, etc.)
2. Search for a public mobile print location by entering keywords, or simply use the “Near me” button to locate the closest options (GPS-based search).
3. Hit Print! You should receive a release code to maintain privacy – the print job is held until your enter the release code at your selected location.
4. Go to the print service location (store, hotel business center, etc. – use the app to see the location on the map), provide your release code and get your printout.

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
