This means that a user can be sitting in Chicago and direct Web content from a server in Germany to a printer in Singapore -- all without downloading to a local machine. In addition, documents can be printed off a local machine, disk drive or network drive using the File Browser feature, again without opening the document. "This application provides a key benefit to users of our recently announced new generation of printers," said Jean Nassar, vice president, Worldwide Marketing for Tektronix. "For the first time, customers can send documents to be printed directly from a Web server or file server to an intranet connected Tektronix printer without opening the file on their local PC. This provides unprecedented flexibility for intranet environments which use PDF or PostScript file formats to store, retrieve and print documents." Spyglass Professional Services developed the custom application for Tektronix. "This is just another example of how Spyglass can provide custom solutions for major device manufacturers," said Maia Tihista, Spyglass director of corporate marketing. "Tektronix identified a need and we were able to deliver an application that not only saved them time to market, but overall development costs as well." "When we needed to expand the intranet printing features in our new line of printers, Spyglass was the ideal choice," said Nassar. "By working with Spyglass, we were able to focus on producing the highest quality printing products and moving the market to color printing, while they added value by producing customized solutions in intranet software."
