HP and MySpace just announced that they’ve teamed up and the partnership will now be providing the ability to print on all user profiles on MySpace.  Now, true, you could do this yourself before by going through steps of your own and saving things yourself and sending them to alternate programs to then print.  But now, it’s just oh so much more simple.

Beginning in November, MySpace users will see a HP-branded button that says “Click to Print” all over the place, not just their photo album.  It will be in their blog, comments, even the mail sections. 

Plans are to extend this even further by selling personalized merchandise.  The merchandise will have users’ photos on it.  No details have been provided at this time as to exactly what kind of merchandise, but, expect the usual mugs, t-shirts, calendars, that sort of thing. 

I can see this being a huge boon for the multitude of band sites on MySpace, and I’m sure they are loving this move.  I’m wondering though, can someone just click on a site, and decide to buy a mug with someone’s photo on that they don’t even know?  That would be kind of creepy.  I mean, imagine, someone can hit your page, print out your photo, stick it on a mug with the words “my guy” or “my girl” or something.  Ummm….ewwww.  And you know some freak out there will do just that.

The new feature is set to kick in just in time for the holidays here in the US, as well as Canada, Australia and Western Europe.  Get ready to start pressing “Click to Print” and again, you better get ready of any of those risque shots before they end up on someone’s t-shirt.
