FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Print Manager Plus Solves Runaway Cost of Printing on Corporate, Educational, and Government Networks
Award Winning Print Manger Plus For Windows NT/2000/XP Supports Printing from All Printers and Most Operating Systems
Clearwater, Florida, 28 January 2002,
Software Shelf International, Inc. today announced the release and shipping of new Print Manager Plusā 4.0, to audit and reduce the cost of printing in the corporate, government, and education markets. Version 4.0 is a major upgrade to this award winning tracking, accounting, and quota setting software for enterprise printing.
Print Manager Plus supports printing from most operating systems through a Windows print server and all printer types.
Dataquest figures show the average cost of producing documents (paper, hardware, ink) is equivalent to 40% of a companys labor cost. Gartner calculates the cost of acquiring a printer is only 20% of the total cost involved. 70% of companies are unaware of their printing costs because they dont have a means to effectively audit these costs. New Print Manager Plus creates a detailed audit trail of the cost of printing.
New Print Manager Plus lets the administrator enter a different page cost per printer (such as for more expensive color printers) and account for exact printing costs per user or printer. The interface contains built-in reports showing how many pages each user or printer printed over specific time periods and the actual cost. Reports can be customized. Reports can be printed or exported to most accounting databases or billing systems. New Print Manager Plus supports SQL, Access, and ODBC compliant databases.
New Print Manager Plus lets the administrator set an overall price quota per user or group over a time period. One can limit job sizes by user to a specified number of pages. Printing jobs can be restricted based on file type, application, or by key words in the document title. Print Manager Plus installs in seconds on the Windows NT, 2000, XP print server. In an average school environment of 1,000 students it pays for itself in saved paper and toner every ten days.
New Print Manager Plus includes an e-Update function that automatically downloads upgrades and updates as they are released.
Print Manager Plus is used in organizations around the world. The previous version 2.8 won the year 2001 W2K News Target Award for #1 Print Management Product of the Year. Customers of the Print Manager Plus family of products include Yale University, University of California, New York University, CNN, NASA, Microsoft Corporation and more.
