Network Instruments releases NIPrint™ 4.0 - Bi-directional LPD/LPR printing for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT/2000
High function/low-cost 32-bit printing solutions connecting Windows to UNIX/Linux and IP based print servers
Minneapolis, MN -- Network Instruments announces the release of NIPrint 4.0 bi-directional LPD/LPR printing utility for Winsock TCP/IP. NIPrint delivers complete integration that Windows end-users expect for printing to/from Unix/Linux or their network printers, without the need for expensive TCP/IP packages or dedicated hardware.
NIPrint 4.0 takes full advantage of Windows 95/98 and Windows NT/2000 32-bit multi-tasking environment. As network administrators begin implementing these new environments, the need for affordable, standards-compliant network printing is essential.
According to Douglas Smith, President of Network Instruments, ÒPrinting has never been easier, faster or as fault tolerant in the Winsock environment. With the addition of secondary printers if a primary printer fails, NIPrint users and system administrators can be confident that their critical print jobs will be delivered ø even in the event of a hardware failure. Additionally with support for Windows 2000, end users and administrators can be certain that they are taking full advantage of both their new hardware and new software environments. Standards-based printing allows any system to print to any other system whether dedicated hardware or server based. NIPrintÕs 32-bit LPD/LPR adds a new dimension to this critical part of any network environment. NIPrintÕs affordability, combined with the speed and functionality of these new operating environments, bring this powerful printing tool to both the large and medium/small size LAN sites.Ó
A summary of NIPrint 4.0Õs new features include secondary (fallback) printer support, better communication logging for troubleshooting, better printer and queue control, Windows 200 support and for technical users, control or the LPD/LPR command file contents.
