SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - June 21, 2010) - TripIt ([ www.tripit.com ]) and Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: [ LXK ]) today launched the TripIt SmartSolution ([ http://smartsolutions.lexmark.com ]) to make it easier for busy travelers to print their travel plans.

With the TripIt SmartSolution, travelers can easily manage their business and personal travel plans via the one-touch printer solution that connects to their existing TripIt account. Without even turning on their computer, travelers, their co-workers and families can easily print their itineraries using Lexmark's award-winning, Web-connected, all-in-one (AIO) inkjet printers -- Platinum, Pinnacle, Prestige and Interact.

Once installed, the free TripIt SmartSolution adds a "TripIt" icon to the touch-screen display on the Lexmark printer, which displays a list of the traveler's upcoming trips that can be selected and printed. Lexmark and TripIt developed the SmartSolution application to streamline travel organization, eliminate traveler stress, and help people save time.

"Lexmark's touch screen AIOs are designed to help customers be more efficient and simplify their business processes," said Paul Rooke, Lexmark executive vice president and president of its Imaging Solutions Division. "The new TripIt SmartSolution enables business travelers to quickly access and print their travel itineraries, saving them time and getting the most out of their Lexmark investment."

Travelers can create a free TripIt account by simply forwarding their flight, hotel or additional travel confirmation emails to [ plans@tripit.com ], no matter where they book. TripIt automatically compiles this information and creates a master itinerary, complete with maps, directions, weather and whatever the traveler needs for their trip.

"We value innovation and Lexmark's new SmartSolutions apps are incredibly useful for business travelers and their teams," said Gregg Brockway, TripIt co-founder and president. "While TripIt connects to mobile apps and social networks, those services aren't always available, so the TripIt SmartSolution turns the office printer into a virtual travel assistant, helping travelers stay on schedule."

The TripIt SmartSolution application is available for free and immediate download at [ http://smartsolutions.lexmark.com ] for the Lexmark Platinum, Pinnacle, Prestige and Interact Web-connected touch screen AIOs.
