It is also priced at a cost affordable toalmost any organization of any size i.e. a fraction of the cost of other printmanagement solutions on the market.
Danny Byrnes, Vice-president of Software Shelf, EMEA stated, "We are very proud tobe presented with this award! It shows not only that the worldÂ's largest informationtechnology corporation has recognized Print Manager Plus for what it is  a highlyefficient and cost-effective way of controlling an organizationÂ's printing, thusdramatically reducing its printing costs  but also that HP really cares abouthelping companies and schools save money on toner and paper.
"Up to now, only a fraction of companies with printing networks were able to savemoney on printing without Print Manager Plus and then, only able to do so usuallywith complex, expensive software or hardware-combined solutions that normallyrequired service contracts to maintain. The cost of these high end 'solutions' hasbeen prohibitive to around 90 percent of the business and academic sectors. Thus thevast majority of organizations have had no effective tool to control theever-increasing cost of printing.
"Print Manager Plus enables any organization of any size ( and even one with a verytight budget ) to have a truly affordable, easy to use, high quality tool that willsave them substantial amounts of money in their printing costs  namely:electricity, printer wear and tear, and toner and paper consumption."
Print Manager Plus is used in the business and education sectors to account for,track, and reduce toner and paper costs and to bill-back those costs to customers.It is fast becoming the standard for any Windows network administrator wishing tocontrol and manage a printing enterprise. It is not only a pure software solution,it is also the only such product on the market 'native' to the Windows operatingsystem, seamlessly integrated with Active Directory and operating as an extension ofWindows.
