Spyglass Inc. Tuesday signed an
agreement with Tektronix Inc.
to develop a customized printing application to allows Tektronix printers
to print Web page files from a company’s intranet.
The PhaserLink PDF Direct Printing application is designed to keep all
information on an intranet, eliminating the need to download information
to a local machine, Spyglass said. Users drag the hotlink for a PDF or
PostScript file from the browser to the PhaserLink PDF Direct Printing
desktop icon and it prints automatically.
“This provides unprecedented flexibility for intranet
environments which use PDF or PostScript file formats to store, retrieve
and print documents,” said Jean Nassar, Tektronix’s vice president of worldwide marketing.
“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.”
