BOSTON, MASS., February 11, 1992--Digital Products Inc., the leader in
networked printing and peripheral sharing technology, is featuring a
printing productivity package for Macintoshes connected to Novell NetWare
LANs at NETWORLD BOSTON. The package, consisting of Digital Products' high
speed print server, LANSprint, and Mosaic for Macintosh from Insight
Development Corp., allows Macintoshes to share normal non-PostScript HP
LaserJet and DeskJet printers with DOS based PCs and increases graphics
printing speeds by up to 5 times. PCs connected to the network can also
see the same speed increases.
"LANSprint and Mosaic for Macintosh provide a complete printing solution
for Mac users on a Novell network. Mosaic for Macintosh lets Mac users
cost-effectively print to the same HP or PCL based printers used by DOS
based PCs, thus alleviating the need for a LaserWriter or other expensive
PostScript options," said Cornelius "Pete" Peterson, president of Digital
Products. "LANSprint allows graphics, which are included in a majority of
Macintosh applications, to print much faster than they can normally print
on a Novell network."
"LANSprint is an excellent complement to Mosaic for Macintosh. We have
tested LANSprint with Mosaic for Macintosh and found that it significantly
improves the printing speed of graphics and mixed text and graphics
documents," said Arnie Lapinig, vice-president Insight Development Corp.
LANSprint uses proprietary Direct Memory Access technology to break through
the graphics printing bottleneck of Novell LANs. NetWare sends data to the
printer at a rate of 2,000 to 8,000 bytes/seconds (bps). LANSprint has a
maximum speed of approximately 100,000 bps, which allows LANsprint to more
effectively utilize Hewlett-Packard's LaserJet IIIP, III and IIlSi, which
are able to accept and print graphics data at speeds from 50,000-100,000
bps.
Mosaic for Macintosh software allows Macintosh users to print text and
graphics documents to Hewlett-Packard LaserJet, DeskJet printers and
PCL-based printers installed on a Novell LAN without the need for
PostScript hardware or adapters. Mosaic for Macintosh is user transparent
and offers true WYSIWYG performance. Mosaic for Macintosh requires a
Macintosh computer with at least 1MB of memory and the Macintosh operating
system version 6.0 or above.
LANSprint can be easily installed in any PC on the LAN and reduces the CPU
strain associated with printing on a non-dedicated workstation.
LANSprint supports NetWare ELS II and NetWare v. 2.15+ and 3.0+. The
product consists of a VAP (Value Added Process) or NLM (Network Loadable
Module) and an add-in board. LANSprint also requires a small TSR on the
host workstation.
The LANSprint and Mosaic for Macintosh package is priced at $795 for a
three user version and $945 for a ten user version. The LANSprint and
Mosaic for Macintosh package is available exclusively from Digital
Products' authorized resellers.
Digital Products, Inc. is the industry leader in printer sharing and server
technology, supporting more than 600,000 users worldwide. The company's
PrintDirector and NetCommander RS232 printer sharing products are used by
leading corporations throughout the world to meet departmental
connectivity needs. LANSprint, the company's high speed print server,
increases graphics printing speeds on Novell and Banyan networks. The
privately-held company is located at 411 Waverley Oaks Road, Waltham, MA
02154, (617) 647-1234.
