| INGENICA Announces the Launch of UniPrint Host Edition INGENICA has announced the launch of UniPrint Host Edition. Developed to cure printing inflexibility headaches in all mixed host systems (such as UNIX, AIX, AS/400, iSeries, and Linux) and Windows environments, UniPrint Host Edition enables all local and remote users on fat or thin clients working in a server-based (Citrix or Microsoft Terminal Server) or non server-based environment to benefit from enhanced printing flexibility. The all-new UniPrint Host Edition enables organizations to build a de facto information bridge between their Line Printer Remote (LPR)-based systems and their Windows-based systems. The bridge makes it easy for users to access data stored on the host system, and print to a Windows-based printer. This solution makes it simple to provide truly fast and flexible cross-platform printing. UniPrint Host Edition further enhances printing flexibility in a mixed host-Windows environment by making it convenient for users to print, preview or archive print jobs. Taking advantage of the common, affordable, and easy-to-maintain Windows environment, UniPrint Host Edition converts print files into Portable Document Format (PDF) before transmitting them to a Windows desktop computer ready to print, preview, or save. An easy-to-install and manage software-based solution, UniPrint Host Edition eliminates the need for organizations to invest the money, time and resources traditionally required to install and maintain a hardware-based printing solution, and reprogram the host side of the system. Compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, and requiring minimal host-side modifications, UniPrint Host Edition eliminates the need for expensive software and hardware - such as Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS)-based printers. By simplifying both cross-platform printing and central management of print jobs, UniPrint Host Edition also enables Windows desktop users to retain advanced printer properties, such as tray mapping, stapling, and duplex printing. UniPrint Host Edition is especially useful for users accessing the host system through a Citrix/Terminal Server session; accessing the host system via a dumb terminal; accessing the host system via a terminal emulation program; accessing the host system from home or via a mobile device; or requiring batch printing. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
