Software Imaging Announces Printer Solutions for Hewlett-Packard JetCAPS Partners

Enabling IT Cost Reduction and Ease-of-Use for End-Users

OXFORD - September 24, 2004 - Software Imaging is pleased to announce the availability of new custom print driver services, developed specifically for Hewlett-Packard JetCAPS solution partners.

Software Imaging is a long-standing development partner of Hewlett-Packard and has already provided printer drivers for many Hewlett-Packard solutions including both InkJet and Laser printer technologies. These new custom print driver services will be used by JetCAPS partners to integrate specific printer driver functions into their own products and to deliver bespoke printing solutions for corporate clients.

The printer services are based on Software Imaging's established Component Driver Architecture (CDA) technology and features include:

  • customization to meet specific corporate printing requirements
  • the ability to cut corporate internal printing support costs
  • enabling of integration of customer-unique features into printer drivers
  • support for all Windows versions
  • support for latest AMD Athlon 64 / Opteron and Intel Xeon Nocona Windows XP 64-bit edition versions
  • support for all major printer languages
  • access to enhanced printer and printing usability features

Examples of how these services could be used are as follows:

Existing HP Users:

A large Hewlett-Packard corporate customer may need to make internal cost savings in its printer IT support infrastructure. This could be achieved by simplification of the way in which the printers are used. By taking advantage of these services from Software Imaging, printer drivers can be tailored to achieve specific savings for the corporate environment.

New sales opportunity:

A tender for a large complex requirement may demand the removal of end-user options from the printer driver user interface and support for AMD64 and the new Windows XP 64-bit edition. Without the ability to change the printer driver, it wouldn’t be possible for the Hewlett-Packard reseller to tender for such business. Now, using Software Imaging’s new JetCAPS partner printer services, the reseller can accurately size the requirement and make a competitive tender to win the business, and then service the requirement easily and cost-effectively.

Added-Value Solutions Partner:

A partner solution may be developed to include detailed features such as automatic logging of exact numbers of pages printed, user details and other statistical data on a print job, when it is printed. This leads to more accurate management and auditing as well as allowing direct driver control of any additional management functions from which the solution could benefit.

“Software Imaging already delivers printing flexibility to the world’s leading printer OEMs”, says Jon Williams, Product Marketing Manager for CDA. “With this new program of printer services, we are pleased to extend this technology advantage to JetCAPS partners, enabling them to target new business more effectively and help their corporate clients to reduce IT costs and facilitate ease-of-use in the printing environment”.

The new custom driver services are available immediately. More details can be found at:
