How PrintMe Works : PrintMe is a secure, global system that connects printers and users using the Internet. Every printer that joins the network is assigned a unique number, an e-mail address and a web page. Users can then send documents via e-mail or over the web, using laptops and desktop computers, wireless and mobile devices, and cell phones and two-way pagers. PrintMe users do not need additional software, driver downloads or IT support in order to print. PrintMe is available at airports, hotels and corporate environments around the world. PrintMe technology was developed by EFI, the world leader in imaging solutions for network printing.
