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”.
