New HELIOS TCP/SLP Printer Drivers for Mac OS X

The drivers are 3X faster than AppleTalk-PAP printing according to HELIOS Software GmbH. HELIOS announced the release of the HELIOS TCP/IP based printer driver for Mac OS X that further enhances its 4th generation EtherShare 3.1 file and print server software.

The HELIOS TCP/IP Print Driver is a component of the recently released EtherShare 3.1. It enables Mac OS 9 clients to print up to 3X faster than via AppleTalk PAP or Apple Remote LPR.* It is now also available for Mac OS X clients. Integrated within the Mac OS X Print Center, the new HELIOS TCP/IP driver supports Service Location Protocol (SLP) browsing, enabling the easy selection of printers via the TCP/SLP Chooser list or by IP name/address. It also automates PPD (PostScript Printer Description)installation from the HELIOS print spooler.
