Subject: [ANN] AppleTalk Printing Management Made Easy
PRINTERMATE
Announcing the release of PrinterMate Version 1.0.2
PrinterMate is a cost effective Macintosh shareware application that
provides an efficient and flexible means of administering AppleTalk
networked printers.
PrinterMate provides:
* Extensible functionality
* Manual or automatic operation
* Auto-restart facility
* Ability to store results in a database
PrinterMate can be used to monitor any number of printers across multiple
zones. It collects information about each printer, which can be displayed
in a window, written to a file, or forwarded to a user-defined AppleScript.
The PrinterMate process may be run manually, or through an automatic timer
mechanism. You can specify the selected printers to be processed
repeatedly, enabling the accumulation of printer profiles, reports etc. At
the end of each processing run a user-defined AppleScript can be executed,
allowing analysis of the accumulated results.
You can download a test version of PrinterMate from
