NEW APPLICATIONS MOVE LINUX OUT OF THE LAB AND INTO THE OFFICE.

IT managers are rapidly discovering that Linux is a remarkably complete operating system, as reliable for business use as is a comprehensive UNIX system, and at a much lower cost. With the launch of UniQPrint for Linux, Macro 4 has added output management for printing; faxing and we site postings to the list of traditional enterprise applications available on Linux.

An advanced output management solution originally available on UNIX and Windows NT systems, Macro 4's UniQPrint provides complete management facilities for all printing devices in an open systems network. Making it available on Linux will help establishments such as small businesses and educational institutions that have built a heterogeneous computing environment over many years but cannot afford to spend a lot on technology. Printing across a heterogeneous network without print management can involve complicated, if not impossible attempts by one program to communicate with another. Organizations using these systems need a flexible and extensible output solution.

UniQPrint's new enterprise GUI (graphical user interface) replaces product-specific interfaces with a single user-friendly Windows GUI, simplifying print management for all users, operations staff and end users. Automatic print delivery ensures that reports created on remote sever machines can be routed around the open systems environment in a secure and managed fashion.
