Brooks Internet Software Releases RPM Remote Print Manager 3.0 for Windows NT

Idaho Falls, ID -- December 3, 1999 /Software Wire/ - Brooks Internet Software, Inc, today announced the release of RPM Remote Print Manager® (RPM/NT) 3.0 for Windows® NT, the latest product from their TCP/IP network printing product line.

RPM/NT is the only complete solution supporting LPD and stream protocols that enables users to receive and customize print jobs from any AS/400, mainframe, UNIX or Windows-based system to any Windows printer - locally or remotely. The product is available for servers and workstations and has undergone extensive Y2K testing within the Windows NT environment.

RPM/NT configures as a NT service that automatically starts at system boot and remains active until the system shutdown, independent of user activity.

While many print servers only allow a straight pass-through of data from the host system to a printer, RPM allow provides extensive formatting capabilities in text printing, and the ability to work with third-party software via filters.

RPM Remote Print Manager Key Features

• Less Demand on Your System - A separate user interface lowers resource demand and allows system administrators to restrict access.
• Easier Security Administration - Personalized system and/or user accounts make security administration easier due to centralized access to spooled files and registry.
• Custom Configuration of Print Queues - All data can be extensively customized before printing. The program's text processing offers formatting control. RPM can also bypass the Windows print driver entirely and send data directly to a printer in raw format. RPM displays the number of pages for each print job so the user may track the job size.
• Custom Configuration of Filter Queues/COM Filter Support - Allows the user to use third-party software or develop applications that work in conjunction with RPM/NT. The filter queue also provides the user more control and options for naming files and handling illegal filename characters. Filter processing is now scheduled more efficiently for greater throughput.
