mobile printing. Depending on the organization’s needs, IT department can implement app-based printing,
email-based printing, or both. With HP ePrint Enterprise, truly mobile printing is now a reality.

assigned for it. With the simple email-to-print capability, users can send a print job from a corporate email
address to network printers that have been assigned an email address.
To achieve the email printing, exchange server on the corporate environment should have a mechanism to
route the emails intended to reach HP ePrint Enterprise Server (printer email accounts) so that it can process
the job and send it to the appropriate printer for printing.
