- May 18, 1992 -- Aleph Systems has released version 2.0 of LANPrint, a
- universal network printer selection utility for Windows, described by the
- company as "the printer utility that every network vendor should have
- included with their product. " The utility, which works with any
- Windows-compatible network, provides "elegant simplicity" to network
- users, enabling them to connect and disconnect network printers by
- selecting from a list of plain English descriptions such as "The LaserJet
- III in Paul Edmond's office," rather than cryptic network queue names.
-
- Although LANPrint is extremely simple for the user, it does complex work
- behind the scenes. When a user attaches a printer, LANPrint verifies that
- the printer type is entered in his Windows configuration, warning him if
- it is not. If the printer is found in the configuration, LANPrint verifies
- that it is configured on the port it is being attached to, automatically
- configuring it for that port if necessary. Finally, LANPrint automatically
- sets the attached printer as the Windows default printer, so that the next
- print command will automatically route the output to the newly attached
- printer.
-
- LANPrint also provides single-key access to the setup screen for the
- default printer, and it provides a method of changing the Windows default
- printer that is faster, simpler and less confusing than the Windows
- Control Panel.
-
- LANPrint is priced at $149 per file server (unlimited users) and is
- available direct from Aleph Systems at 7319 Willow Avenue, Takoma Park, MD
- 20912. The company can be reached by telephone at (301) 270-4458 and on
- CompuServe at 71371,635.
