Blog homeFirst some clues:
- We all know that printing from the web is not that well handled by web browsers (although IE7 is much better than IE6 was).
- Tabblo is described as a place to make cool stuff with your photos. They also have a public print toolkit that can help make websites more printable. With their first release they say you will be able to re-format a web page into printable templates through calls to their templating engine. This sounds good. (I have also added their new blog printing tool to the sidebar on the right hand side of this blog)
- HP have a free download to enhance web page printing within Internet Explorer . I played with it a few weeks ago and it seems quite good - although I have now uninstalled it from my browser as I don’t print much and it just gets in the way.
- Tabblo is now owned by HP.
- HP have a strategic relationship with Travelocity
If you go to HP’s SmartWebPrinting.com website you get a message that says:
If you have any issues with any features of the Travelocity Travel Plan Creator….
I haven’t seen this Travelocity travel plan creator (apparently it is in Beta) - and it isn’t listed on any press releases or customer case study pages….. must be coming soon then!
It may be that Travelocity, through their long term agreement with Yahoo (which I believe must still be in place), are doing a little test with this Italy trip plan. If you click on the “printable version” icon on the right hand side - you get a Tabblo popup like this:
It actually prints out rather well…..
Have I just spoilt someone’s forthcoming press release? Whoops. Sorry.
