In a world drowning in information, weather forecasts might be among the most ubiquitous content out there. TV and radio stations offer frequent updates--particularly during drive time--and sites like Weather.com are easy enough to check on your computer or iPhone. But Lexmark and AccuWeather are betting there's one more place you need to check the seven-day outlook--the humble office printer.
The two companies on Monday announced the debut of their new SmartSolution weather app, which lets users check weather forecasts directly on the touchscreens of Web-connected Lexmark printers. Users can look for local reports, or enter zip codes for travel destinations, and--as seen in the video below--print the information directly.
In addition to business travelers, the service is being pitched at companies that provide weather-dependent service, such as landscaping, ski shops, and event-planning.
The AccuWeather SmartSolution weather app is free and available for Lexmark's Genesis, Platinum, Pinnacle, and Interact Mac-compatible inkjet printers.
