HP Helps Make Your Blog a Printable PDF

July 27, 2007 by Dan in Cool,Tech with 2 Comments

Tabblo, owned by HP, has created a tool that lets bloggers add cool well formatted printing features to WordPress or Movable Type blogs. The tool, available as a simple plugin, lets readers pick and choose (with check boxes) which posts they’d like to print. With a click of a button, the result is clearly formatted and tagged PDF that can saved, emailed and printed.

The photobook-ish feature of Tabblo makes sense, but I can’t see why anyone would want to print out 99.9999% of all blog posts (it makes the best part—links—worthless!). There are few posts with walkthroughs or code samples or instructions for something-or-other where a hardcopy might be useful, but even there, the standard browser print feature is usually sufficient. As far as clean formatting . . . this can be achieved with a special stylesheet defined for printing.

Can anyone help me figure out which problem we’re trying to solve here?

It’s a conspiracy. They want you to accidentally press the button, causing you to waste ink meaning you will buy more ink to replenish what is used. I’m telling ya, man. You won’t get this stuff anywhere else…
