MySpace and HP Work on Printing Your Profile Photos

MySpace and HP have teamed up on a deal that will see HP printing technology used across multiple areas on MySpace, including all photo sections. You will be able to easily print pictures from not only people's profile photos, but ones that are inserted into blog posts, comments, messages, etc. 

The first stage of the partnership is anticipated to include an HP branded print button enabling MySpace users to preview and print photos directly from their MySpace profiles.

"The MySpace platform is home to approximately 4 billion images and our users, from teens to grandparents will now have an easier way to share their digital assets," says MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe. " We’re excited to partner with HP, a leader in the printer market, to provide them with new tools to now print their photos directly from MySpace and share their memories offline as well." I'm not sure what is so exciting about this feature, being how it's not too hard to go to the URL of any posted photo and simply print it, but I suppose the added convenience of the print button isn't a bad thing.

I don't think I'm the only one unimpressed though. "It seems a little excessive - I can’t imagine wanting to print out anyone’s MySpace profile, and running promotions to print across the entire site isn’t very green either,"
