GrayMatter Software to Ship Print Area Network (PAN)

For Immediate Release

ScriptServer PAN 1.3 Now Available to Customers

SEATTLE, WA - January 12, 2004 - GrayMatter Software today announced the release of version 1.3 of the ScriptServerŽ PAN Printing System. The flagship product provides advanced enterprise-class printing services on a distributed network-wide basis. Key features include best-in-class electronic forms, queue management, printer management and output to Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF).

The enterprise printing solution now allows multiple jobs to be manipulated with a single click, the ability to embed PostScript within ASCII print jobs, electronic form images that can be changed during job processing, and simplified testing of new printer setups. The latest Red Hat and SuSE Linux versions are now supported, in addition to client support for Apple's Safari web browser.

"Managing a ScriptServer PAN network has never been easier," said GrayMatter VP of Sales Doug Parsons, "and our customers are anxious to get their hands on the new PDF output support. The new electronic forms capabilities can handle virtually any special form requirements you can throw at it."

"No longer just a great idea, customers in the field are now using the panpr print submission command to submit jobs from one server to another, even across platforms," said GrayMatter Support Specialist Fred Morris. "As was expected, the ease of use and administration compared to administering the lpr/lpd variants in such environments is being borne out in the field."

ScriptServer PAN 1.3 is supported on a wide variety of platforms, with servers running on Linux, HP-UX, Sun Microsystems' Solaris and HP Tru64. Client support includes Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, Tru64, Windows NT/2000, and Mac OS X.

Pricing and Availability

ScriptServer PAN 1.3 is available now. Entry level pricing is $1,250 for the full server software functionality (including electronic forms) and the first five print queues. Additional print queues are available at extra cost. Unlimited client software licenses are free. Customers under software maintenance contracts receive the new version for free.
