New software helps user redirect print jobs to cost-effective printer

A public beta version of a new software that helps users redirect print jobs from costly or inefficient printers to more cost-effective ones has just been launched by GreenPrint Technologies.

Dubbed GreenPrint Advisor, the software categorizes all printers in a corporate environment as either "red," "yellow," or "green". By redirecting the print jobs to “green” devices, the developer claims it can help save millions of dollars a year at a large company.

In addition, the color coding can be generated automatically or custom-tailored by IT administrators, and further allows them to attach custom per-page costs to each printer.

"This is an evolutionary product that should have a huge impact on the MPS market," said Qualpath's President Kevin DeYoung. "The ability to redirect print jobs from bad printers to good ones is functionality every MPS provider has wanted for years.  If implemented successfully it should substantially enhance MPS profit margins and lower customers' costs."
