Introduction
Whether you’re traveling for business or piling the family into the car for a road trip, HP has the products and inspiration to smooth your path. Use your HP printer or All-in-One to create checklists, itineraries, and other materials to help you prepare for your travels, or with HP mobile printing solutions, take your printer with you.

Plan your trip to perfection

HP Smart Web printing allows you to select a portion of numerous websites, organize the content on a single page, and print your compilation.

Print your customized travel guide on two sides of the page to halve the number of pages you need to pack.

From researching a destination to planning your itinerary and organizing your data, HP has the products and innovations you need to prepare for your trip:

  • Utilize the Internet: Use HP Smart Web printing to easily select images and text from multiple Web pages and make a visual itinerary. Especially useful if you need to “sell” a travel companion on a trip.


  • Collect info: When doing research, you can also use HP Smart Web printing to collect specific information from travel websites. Some travel book publishers, such as Lonely Planet, allow you to order online and print only the chapters you need.


  • Pack light: Create your own customized guides for lighter packing than lugging an entire guidebook in your suitcase. Learn how to print double-sided to lighten the load even further.

Create perpetual pre-travel lists

Printing pre-travel checklists will help you stay organized while you prepare for your trip.

Don’t start from scratch every time you leave; keep “constant” pre-travel lists on your computer, print them out before a trip, and check off just the items that are applicable for that particular trip.

  • Packing list: Create a packing list including standard items such as medications, toiletries, and clothes.
  • Task list: Also make sure you have a checklist with important pre-travel tasks such as putting mail and newspapers on hold, and giving emergency info to a relative or neighbor.
