Hewlett-Packard has launched a new printer that can serve as a hotspot, though it's available only in India for now.
The HP Hotspot LaserJet Pro M1218nfs MFP lets up to eight people hop on to wirelessly connect their mobile devices to the Internet.
As a multifunction printer, the device comes with the usual print, copy, and scan features. It also offers several options for printing wirelessly, including Apple AirPrint, HP ePrint, and HP wireless direct. HP's Smart Install tries to ease the burden of installation by letting you set up the printer with the need to install any software.
The printer is geared specifically for the SOHO (small office, home office) crowd, meaning businesses with anywhere from one to nine employees.
"The HP Hotspot is a new All-in-One+1 printer that completely redefines the role a multifunction printer can play in a SOHO or small business environment," Nitin Hiranandani, Director-Printing HP India, said in a statement. "We are confident that users will deeply appreciate the ability to print, scan, copy, fax, and access Internet wirelessly, all through a single device that is incredibly easy to set up and use."
Selling in India starting today, the printer costs 18,306 rupees ($334).
HP didn't say when the printer might be available in other countries. CNET contacted the company for details and will update the story if we get any information.
