Article in the NYT: H.P. Tries to Create Printers That Love the Web
Vyomesh I. Joshi, the senior vice president in charge of Hewlett-Packard’s printing division, bounded up to the stage to congratulate his employees on their performance. He was ebullient, and with good reason: revenue, profit, margins and market share were all up, he told them at a quarterly “coffee talk” in late February.
He followed that up with a less-heartening tale. He said one of his daughters, a college student, had told him, “I don’t need a printer.” Like many people of her generation, she lives online and finds it unnecessary or too difficult to put bits onto paper.
“The intent of this is not to scare you, though I am scared,” Mr. Joshi said.
