Cano/HP Copier Alliance

Imaging Industry Information: More details on the new alliance between Canon and Hewlett Packard

Has anyone else heard of this? Apparently, it was announced in September but according to this blog post, HP's website was supposed to be offering Canon copiers starting 11/1. I looked today and haven't seen any.

Here are the highlights of the news as posted on the website I linked to above:

- HP will begin advertising Canon copiers on its website on 11/1/09
- HP will resell imageRUNNER, imageRUNNER ADVANCE, and imageRUNNER ADVANCE PRO series
- Speed range from 23ppm to 105ppm devices
- According to Larry Trevarthen, HP’s Worldwide Director of Market Development, HP also has access to the imagePRESS production print products
- All the devices will initially carry the Canon name
- The products will be identical to what Canon dealers sell, including supplies
- Service will be provided by a Canon factory direct branch primarily. Only if there is no Canon branch in the area, will the service contract be offered to a Canon dealer.
- Canon currently has 60 factory branch locations, but will expand to 90 locations within 2 years
- HP will support Canon copiers with its Web JetAdmin utility
- HP will also modify its Universal Print Driver to support Canon copiers
- Starting in early 2010, HP will begin to develop its own print controllers for the Canon copiers

Well we all know that Canon make the printers for HP already
So i would think this partnership would be more a Canon HP then HP Canon

Hi
In South Afica there is a big push to get all technicians HP and Canon certified. I suppose it is par for the course.

Canon doesn't make printers for HP. HP licenses Laserjet technology from Canon.
