Inside HP Labs: 8 cool projects

On tap: A color thesaurus, photonics, and book and magazine publishing

CloudPrint: Bernardo Huberman is in charge of the social computing lab and an HP Fellow. His latest project is called CloudPrint, and it allows anyone to send a file -- such as a Word document or photo -- to a print queue "in the cloud," where it is held until you can print the file locally. A mobile user could print a document to the cloud, then receive it on his smartphone. Users can create a queue of documents from any device and send it to a virtual printer. The system, currently in beta, uses a code that you can type in to retrieve and print any stored document.
