COSprint — Output management, print spooling and delivery
for Unix, Linux and Microsoft Windows®
COSprint is an advanced output management and print spooling
package used by enterprises with an IT infrastructure incorporating
UNIX and/or Linux servers. It delivers the following major benefits:
Improved control. All systems in the enterprise, whether they run
UNIX, Linux or Microsoft Windows
operating systems, are configured to route output to dedicated
COSprint Servers. By centralizing print management and print
spooling on these network-aware servers, administrators have a
comprehensive and consolidated view of all printing across the
enterprise.
Reduced costs. Industry analysts estimate that printing
costs between 1% and 3% of a company's total revenues. By consolidating
output management, reducing administration overhead, providing
user self-service to reduce help desk costs, and compressing output
before distribution, the total cost of printing can be dramatically
reduced. COSprint also allows printers to be shared across the
UNIX, Linux and Windows estates, reducing the need for capital
investment.
Service level improvement. Users become frustrated at
their inability to print a document and use significant amounts
of help desk time when problems occur. COSprint provides a web
browser based user interface that allows end users to view the
status of their own print requests, and help desk are provided
with a centralized view of all output jobs, and printer status
to ensure quick and accurate response to questions.
