| INGENICA Scores Gold for Its Uniprint Server 6.0 Edition INGENICA has been awarded the maximum Gold Award by TechGenix for making it simple to eliminate printing problems on Windows Terminal Server and Citrix Presentation Server environments. UniPrint Server 6.0, which includes the UniPrint Management Console, UniPrint Group Policy Administrative Template, and a single Portable Document Format (PDF)-based Printer Driver, was praised by reviewer, Patrick Rouse, for simplifying printer administration while reducing the bandwidth requirements of Windows Terminal Server and Citrix printing. The review explained that right out of the box there is nothing that needs to be configured for UniPrint to function. Commenting on the versatility of the solution, Rouse explained that UniPrint provides numerous options to customize printing functionality to an organization's specific environment. Rouse also liked the fact that when a print job arrives at the client machine, it is displayed in the UniPrint Client where the user can print to any printer accessible to them. This allows the user to take advantage of all of the printer's features, as they are now printing using their local printer driver. In addition to being able to print this PDF file, the review also explained that UniPrint provides end users with the option to Email or Save the PDF using the UniPrint Client. For users that do not want to deal with two step printing, the UniPrint Client has a "No Preview" setting that sends the print job directly to the Client Default Printer. It was also noted that the UPMC (UniPrint Management Console) makes it simple for administrators to centrally manage UniPrint 6.0. UniPrint Server 6.0's universal printer driver technology simplifies printer driver management, increases server stability, and eliminates the need to install specific manufacturer's printer drivers - eliminating all printer compatibility issues and related help-desk costs. As a result, UniPrint Server helps provide immediate productivity gains as users can now print to any available printer - in the office, at home, or at a remote site. When printing, UniPrint creates a PDF print job that is returned to the client workstation via UniPrint's private virtual channel. Users can instantly print, preview, save, or email print jobs from the desktop. To ensure data security, if the client device has a network printer defined, print jobs are automatically sent to the default printer. Also, as UniPrint's PDF files are significantly smaller than other printing formats, printer bandwidth utilization is reduced by over 90 percent - resulting in less work for the server, improved application performance, and faster, more efficient printing. INGENICA's UniPrint for 64-Bit provides the same printing advantages for organizations utilizing the more powerful servers and applications of today's 64-bit server-based environments. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
