HP AI aims to make printers less frustrating.

HP introduced a suite called HP AI for printers, currently available in the US, and a reviewer found the Perfect Printing feature can cut printed pages but is still inconsistent across sites.

HP has introduced an umbrella called HP AI to add new printing and scanning features across its recent and future printers. The company says it will extend support to more models and countries over time, but availability today is limited. A reviewer tested the Perfect Printing feature on an HP Smart Tank 7602 and described both useful results and clear shortcomings. The features rely on Microsoft’s Printer Support Application and HP recommends using Windows 11 for best results. Key facts: - HP AI is a collection of printer features; as of the article it was available only in the United States. - Perfect Printing works from Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome and attempts to reformat web pages to save paper and ink; the reviewer reported significant page reductions in some tests but inconsistent results on other pages. - Editable OCR and Scan to Email Summary are AI features offered for select higher-end laser models; Scan to Email Summary was described as being in beta. - Some older printers that originally installed without HP AI cannot yet receive the features; HP says it will make behind-the-scenes changes to add support to more previously installed models. - HP AI depends on printers that support Microsoft’s Printer Support Application (PSA); HP advises using Windows 11 rather than older Windows versions. Summary: The available HP AI features are early-stage and can reduce printing waste on compatible pages, but they do not behave consistently across all websites or models. HP plans ongoing improvements, wider model support, and additions such as a Precise Scan feature and expanded Perfectly Formatted Prints availability, with broader rollouts and timelines not fully specified.
