Product Description
Remote Printer Manager (RPM) is a sophisticated network management tool
that allows network administrators to add, modify and remove printers on any
Windows-based computer on their network.
This is the console version of RPM which allows you to create lengthy batch (BAT) files
to perform multiple RPM instructions on multiple computers.
Specification
- Add, remove and modify any local and TCP/IP network printers to any remote computer.
- With the correct firewall allowances, you could set up a computer on
the other side of the world to print!
- Dynamic driver location support gives you an extensive list of printers available to install
from the host computer, requiring no pre-installation of drivers on the client computer.
- System Requirements: Windows XP
(Windows 2000 should work also, try the demo first)
