LPD print server for Windows platforms

RPM Remote Print Manager™ (RPM)

RPM is a print server

RPM is a print server designed for Windows platforms. We support LPD and reverse telnet; they are very simple to set up from any originating system.

It's what RPM can do after we receive the print job that makes us stand out.

RPM is Interoperable with virtually any platform that can send a print job

RPM works with legacy systems such as mainframes, business systems such as iSeries (System i), with Linux distros and CUPS, and standard Windows TCP/IP port setups. RPM works with Solaris, HP3000, HP9000, etc.

RPM is a workflow solution

RPM is designed around the idea of:

  1. Making it simple to set up complex print processing with custom data conversions and processing actions
  2. Running it unattended, day and night, hands off

RPM is a bridge between legacy systems and modern platforms

RPM receives from mainframes and AS/400 systems, OpenVMS, older flavors of Unix as well as new Linux releases.

Our outputs include printing but are as diverse as:

  • convert print jobs to PDF and email as an attachment
  • convert print jobs to plain text or HTML and use as the message body in an email
  • submit print jobs to variable data printing systems
  • submit print jobs to document management systems
  • convert a PCL print job meant for an HP printer, to PDF

That's just a sample of the things we can do and the ways RPM is routinely used.

RPM gives you access to your print job data

We offer a large number of "transforms" which give you the opportunity to change, slice, reformat, translate, and otherwise modify the print data.

We also provide a number of actions, things you can do with your data, like print, run a program, email, etc. Please see our overview for a description.

Good features versus great

We have two versions: RPM Select, which is geared toward workstation printing environments, and RPM Elite, which is intended for back-end server environments with features you won't always need, like converting PCL to PDF and the ability to run a program against your data during the conversion stage. Read our RPM Elite and Select comparison.

Please contact our technical sales or support staff. We take a consulting approach to sales; we will brainstorm with you on how you could achieve your goals and work toward that end with you.
