INTELLIscribe® is a TCP/IP Print Client supporting LPR/LPD protocol and HP JetDirect® printers. INTELLIscribe offers the ability to spool and print data to any networked printer, hardware print server, Windows LPD, Unix LPD, AS/400 LPD, or mainframe LPD without a network server!
INTELLIscribe enhances printing functions by offering features not found in other print clients or Windows® printing options. INTELLIscribe proves to be a robust and useful tool for enabling and enhancing printing capabilities in environments where a domain server is used or when the server is not available.
INTELLIscribe's user interface lets you know exactly what is going with your current and past print jobs print jobs. INTELLIscribe reduces the cost and aggravation over lost print jobs. It's fully integrated with Windows printing; configuration can be done through standard Windows printer setup. INTELLIscribe makes a TCP/IP printer look like a local printer allowing all Windows users to print from Windows to anywhere!
INTELLIscribe's features and options make it the sensible choice for a fast-paced business environment. INTELLIscribe runs on all Windows platforms and runs as a service on Windows NT/2000/XP. INTELLIscribe helps create an LPR Printer Port For Windows 98! Please feel free to download and try INTELLIscribe for FREE!
The LPR Remote Printing Process
- A user prints a file from any application to a Windows printer. This printer is configured to print through "INTELLIscribe".
- Using the print driver, the application formats the data specifically for the printer. When finished, the formatted print file is placed in the Windows print manager, commonly called the "spooler".
- INTELLIscribe then intercepts the print job from the Windows spooler. Using this method allows INTELLIscribe to print to virtually any type of printer without affecting either the application or the Windows print manager.
- Finally, INTELLIscribe spools the print job to the destination(s) configured in the "Virtual Printer Port". Almost any TCP/IP addressable printer or print server will work.
Unique LPR Features with INTELLIscribe
Shared Printing
INTELLIscribe transforms a users print environment into a print distribution center. This combination merges Windows network printing with TCP/IP printing thereby elevating the entire print environment. INTELLIscribe can accept print jobs from a Windows printer when the printer is shared...without being logged in!
Print Destination Balancing
Use this policy when you have multiple printers that are similar in print speed or paper tray size, and job sizes that are not consistent. The destination balancing policy keeps statistics on the amount of data sent to each printer. Any new print jobs coming in will be sent to the printer that has been the least used.
Round Robin (printers) Printing
INTELLIscribe remembers the previously tried printer and schedules the job for the next destination in the list. Use this policy when you have multiple printers that are similar in print speed or paper tray size and want them to be used in a predictable manner, perhaps because the job sizes are consistent.
Broadcast Printing
INTELLIscribe offers the ability to print a single file or job to multiple printers or print servers simultaneously. Now, from any Windows PC, you can print a single document to multiple users, at the same time, on different printers. You may also send a print job to the printer and a folder at the same time for archiving.
Fail-over Printing
Virtual Printer Ports can be configured to automatically reroute print jobs to another destination if the first printer is busy or refuses to accept the job. Use this feature if you have multiple printers that are in constant use. Many destinations can be configured.
Drag-and-Drop
Users can simply drag a "printer ready" file over a "Virtual Printer Port", by-passing the Windows print driver. This spools files without any modification to the file.
