Press Release - 4Print2

Relieving network strain

The ideal solution for workgroups: four PCs use two printers with 4Print2
Siegburg, 7/3/2001

  
 
     

Siegburg / LEUNIG. Networks are not the only solution. With the 4Print2 printer sharer from LEUNIG, four PCs can share two printers. This relieves the network from additional data traffic and eliminates the problems often associated with network printers. From the users' point of view, it is as if each user had exclusive use of two printers. Unique among printer sharers, 4Print2 allows printers to be selected from within applications under all Windows operating systems, including Windows 2000 and Windows ME

With 4Print2, up to four PC workstations can be connected to two printers, allowing convenient handling of print jobs. Standard printer cables up to a length of 20 metres can be used to connect the printers. This has several advantages:

The printers can be selected from within any Windows application, as if they were connected directly to two parallel printer ports at the PC.The 4Print2 driver interacts closely with the Windows Print Manager, which removes the need for special software and for selecting the printers manually.

Because print jobs are no longer sent through the network, 4Print2 also reduces data traffic across the network. This relieves network strain, freeing the bandwidth of the corporate network for more effective use by other tasks and applications.

Simultaneous access from four PCs to two printers, combined with parallel processing of print jobs, increases productivity.

Because 4Print2 can be used with existing standard printer cables, there is no need to reroute cables or even buy expensive special-purpose cables. The use of the Windows Print Manager simplifies installation and ensures continuous, problem-free operation.

Background:
We all know that servers, switches, routers, etc. crash from time to time, a situation which not even the most advanced management tools can handle. When the system crashes, the equipment's mains switch needs to be physically operated by a person. In large remote networks, this is both time consuming and costly. This also applies for systems whose operation and maintenance is outsourced: often, and especially at night, nobody is available at the provider's system location with access to the server rooms, making a quick restart impossible. The answer to these problems comes in the form of the "ePowerSwitch" from LEUNIG.
