How Does ActivePrint Traveler Work?

How does ActivePrint Traveler work? It is probably the simplest mobile printing solution for your phone. So the short answer to this question is very easily.

Let’s say you’re like most of us who use mobile phones and you take photos everywhere you go using your phone’s built in camera. Wouldn’t it be great if you could easily have that photo printed while away from your home or office? With the ActivePrint Traveler installed on your phone you can. After you’ve taken the photo simply run the ActivePrint Traveler app and choose the “Photo from Album” option. Depending on the phone you’re using you will see a list of the photos currently stored on your phone, including the one you just took.

Just select that photo and then tell ActivePrint Traveler if you want multiple copies, or if you want it to print in portrait or landscape mode, and then send it. Your photo will then be safely and securely sent to our server where it will wait in your free account.

Later that day you return to your home, your office, or the hotel you’re staying at and run the ActivePrint Traveler Helper Application (available for free here) on a desktop or laptop with a printer. This program will then automatically download and print your photo from your account.
