1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing our Combo Print Server. This Print Server allows your
GDI/Host-based printer become a sharable device on the network.
GDI printer is a printer that has built-in support for Windows Graphical Device Interface
(GDI), so it is no need to convert the output from Windows to another format such as
PostScript or PCL language. GDI printers are sometimes called host-based printers
because they rely on the host computer to rasterize pages. Because of that, almost
none of Print Servers in the market can support GDI printer network sharing. This
Combo Print Server implements a special technology, which allows it to communicate
with the GDI printer as if it is connected directly to your computer. With the feature, the
GDI printer is easy to become a shared device and you don’t need to worry about the
compatibility with the GDI printers anymore. The Print Server supports GDI printer in the
most popular operating systems: Windows 2000 SP4 above and XP SP1 above.
The Combo Print Server is the best solution for users to share GDI printer conveniently
and easily. It offers the most flexible and manageable printing for GDI printer on your
Local Area Network at an extremely low cost and with an absolute minimal setup and
maintenance required.
