Printfil - Windows Printing System for Applications has been released!

Printing on Windows-only printers/PDF export.

(PRWEB) June 2, 2004 -- This software, designed for Microsoft Windows, will allow you to print ASCII text files using any printer with a Windows driver. The file can be generated from a DOS/WINDOWS application or a UNIX/LINUX application, if it resides on a file system that is accessible from the Windows box (NFS, SCO-VisionFS, Samba and others).

Once configured, it will allow you to:
- preview printing
- include logos or other images stored in separate files
- send the files via fax (if a third-party fax service, acting like a printer is installed, i.e. Microsoft Fax)
- print A4 landscape sheets instead of printing on dot-matrix 136-column printers
- print on USB devices or remote devices over a LAN, even if the original application can not print on that type of device
- use special fonts (barcodes, for instance) as well as normal characters
- exporting the print jobs in PDF format
- use your own escape sequences
- and other interesting features.

If you are developing host based applications (like Unix) and your customers are using them with a Windows Terminal Emulator, You can stop to fight with transparent-print characters and different settings for different printers. All You need is a shared file system and PRINTFIL.
