Infowave Announces PowerPrint for Networks
New product allows Macs to print to virtually any printer across an
Ethernet network
Burnaby, British Columbia, April 13, 1999: Infowave Software Inc.
(IWM) is pleased to announce PowerPrint for Networks, the affordable,
Macintosh-friendly way for SOHO, education, and consumer users to
print from their Macintosh to virtually any printer over a network.
With PowerPrint for Networks almost any printer becomes a Macintosh
network printer.
PowerPrint for Networks consists of Infowave’s award-winning suite of
PowerPrint drivers, a fast 10/100BaseT multi-protocol print server,
and a printer cable, to provide Ethernet network printing
connectivity from a Macintosh to over 1600 inkjet, laser and
specialty PC-printers.
Infowave’s PowerPrint for Networks is an ideal solution for:
Mixed environments where you want Macintosh and PC computers to share
printers on an Ethernet network. PowerPrint for Networks makes
sharing a low cost, non-Postscript printer into a Macintosh network
easy and affordable.
Adding a Macintosh into an existing PC network, or adding a PC
printer to a Macintosh network. PowerPrint for Networks supports all
the common network environments including Mac OS, Windows NT, Windows
for Workgroups, Unix and Novell.
Using specialty printers on a Macintosh or multi-platform network.
PowerPrint for Networks expands the choice of specialty printers
available to Macintosh users, including impact printers as well as
high-speed form and label printers.
“The new products Apple has introduced over the last year – iMac,
PowerBook G3 and Power Macintosh G3 – have inspired developers to
bring out innovative products,” said Clent Richardson, vice president
of worldwide developer relations at Apple. “Products like Infowave
PowerPrint help make Macintosh an even better network citizen and
confirm to our customers that Macintosh is the best platform choice.”
“More and more, SOHO and education are using networks to share
printer and other peripherals,” says Kevin Jampole, Vice President of
Sales and Marketing for Infowave. “PowerPrint for Networks makes it
easy for non-technical people to get their Macintosh connected to PC
printers they already have.”
PowerPrint for Networks joins Infowave’s family of award-winning
PowerPrint products including PowerPrint USB-Parallel and PowerPrint
Serial-Parallel. The PowerPrint family gives Macintosh users the
freedom to print to over 1600 PC-compatible printers.
Infowave’s PowerPrint for Networks is scheduled to ship in May 1999
with a suggested retail price of $249.00. PowerPrint for Networks
will be available in English, French and German versions.
