Fizzy revenue stream The alliance between BT and HP, which was fanfared earlier this year with a huge inhouse press seminar in Venice, was supposed (at the time) to be simply a way of selling IMS (IP multimedia subsystem) to desperate mobile telcos - so it's quite a surprise to find a big contract announced with Pepsico.â¦

Hewlett-Packard&#160;introduced on Wednesday a security technology that ensures printed documents get to the right people and protects against malware.HP&#39;s Secure Print Advantage is a set of hardware and software components that encrypts documents sent to a printer and completes the print job after a user is verified through authentication. It is a part of the HP Secure Advantage program, which encompasses HP&#39;s security assets, know-how, and technologies.&quot;[Secure Print Advantage] allows customers to look at print and imaging infrastructure and be able to set and ensure a security policy,&quot; said Gary Lefkowitz, director of marketing and operations at HP. The technology encrypts print documents and authenticates users to prevent document theft. It also scans print jobs to prevent network intrusion and spread of malware, he said.After a print document is encrypted at a desktop, it sits on a secure document server until it is decrypted and printed by a workgroup printer after user authentication. Printers can be across the hall or in different countries, Lefkowitz said.The system is built using a mix of industry standards, Lefkowitz said. It supports different authentication techniques including smartcards, biometrics or LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), depending on what a customer requests, Lefkowitz said. Encryption techniques supported by the system include AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), RSA and CCE (Common Criteria EAL 4+). It supports any TCP/IP printer.Printers have been used in the past to spread malware. In 2006, HP pulled a printer driver from its Web site after security vendor BitDefender reported the software was infected with malware. Secure Print Advantage scans every print job for malware, Lefkowitz said.It will be available worldwide in February. Pricing has not yet been determined, Lefkowitz said.

What are you getting when you buy a printer to use under GNU/Linux? The LinuxPrinting.org site can tell you how well a printer will work with free software, but often that's only part of the story. I came face to face with this simple fact when I recently bought a Hewlett-Packard PhotoSmart C3100, a low end inkjet printer that includes scanning and copying features. Besides basic features, like many today, the printer includes features that run without a computer, if only with the specific Windows or OS X software that accompanies it. My experience is one data point for measuring the current state of hardware support for GNU/Linux -- as well as how companies, deliberately or otherwise, are withholding it.

Bye bye to Buy! Buy! Another day, another silly survey, this time claiming that nearly two million UK small businesses are "putting their data and productivity at risk by using old technology to run their business". Why? because they replace their PCs rarely or never, and miss out on all sorts of good things, such as happy staff, cheaper running costs, and smaller "footprints" and lower repair bills.â¦

(InfoWorld) - Hewlett-PackardÂ is upgrading its inkjet printers to appeal to small business owners for whom a big business machine is too expensive but a small consumer-oriented printer inadequate. Meanwhile, HP faces new competition in the consumer printer market from Eastman Kodak, which introduced new inkjet printers Monday. HP on Tuesday launched the HP Officejet J5700 printer series, scheduled to go on sale this month at a starting list price of $149. Also coming on the market, in March, is the Officejet Pro K5400 series, starting at $149, and the Officejet Pro L7000, starting at $299. Each of the new printers are identified as "All-In-One," which means they can print, scan, copy and fax documents. HP is migrating down to the sub-$300 market features previously available in more expensive laser printers used by businesses and large enterprises, said Karl Schwenkmeyer, vice president of marketing for inkjet systems within HP's Imaging and Printing Group. HP seeks to dispel some misconceptions about how inkjet printers can't handle business workloads because they are too slow, expensive to maintain and unreliable, Schwenkmeyer said. He said the printers can print color pages for as low as $0.06 each and black ink documents at as low as $0.015 each. And the machines are engineered to print 7,500 pages a month without a failure. Offering new features in lower priced printers is a lot like carmakers that first put anti-lock brakes only in luxury cars but now also offer them in compacts, said Robert Palmer, director of printer research at InfoTrends Inc., a printing market research firm. "There's nothing here that is really new, but they [HP] have done a good job of putting products out that are more robust," said Palmer. HP holds a market share lead of 50 percent in the inkjet printer market, according to 2005 InfoTrends numbers, said Palmer. Lexmark International follows with 16 percent, while Dell has 15 percent. Seiko Epson has 12 percent and Canon 8 percent. But one more company is lining up to challenge HP. Kodak entered the consumer inkjet market on Tuesday with models that aim for the heart of HP's printing profitability: the replacement ink cartridges. Kodak's replacement cartridges list for $9.99 for black ink and $14.99 for five-color ink, about half what HP and other brands charge. Different models of the Kodak machines, which can print, scan and copy -- but not fax -- documents, list for $149.99, $199.99 and $299.99, depending on the features. They are also targeted at consumers and home-based business operators.
