Password Information

OPENprint software is typically availabe with password encryption scheme, which ties the operation of the critical programs to your printer-server's machine ID and the printer type.

Note, any machine on your network can print to the OPENprint supported printer through the standard UNIX lp or lpr spooling system to the "printer-server" machine (the machine you load the software on, and connect the printer to, or create the main network spool for a ethernet connected printer).

Passwords are available both for a free 15-day trial, as well as for paid, permanent passwords.

Soon, an automated "license" program, included with OPENprint, will automate the issuance of passwords through internet email. In the meantime please use the following methods:
