We have had lot of unique, rare and quality software reviewed and given away over the last few days as part of TechPP Mega Christmas Giveaway. They include WinAutomation, Axialis IconWorkshop, Crossover for Mac/Linux, SWF to Video converter, RVS 2010 Home Lux, Speedbit Video Accelarator amongst others.
We would like to continue this trend for today’s giveaway as well and hence we have Antamedia Print Manager on board! Antamedia Print Manager is a print management software for internal enforcement of printing rules and policies, run by a central control panel and optionally offering a paid printing service.
According to Antamedia, any medium to large company can easily save 35% of their printing costs with Antamedia Print Manager, with some smaller companies reaching savings up to 64%. After Print Manager is installed, you can change the rules. Not by sending a memo or by posting notices that get ignored but with a simple push-button software control panel on a single PC.
You choose how many pages are allowed, if color is allowed, what times printing is available and so on. You can control this by user group, by individual, by location, even down to a specific printer. Setting the rules is the only configuration required. When you’re ready, decide on the rules, set them and you’re done.
Key Features of Antamedia Print Manager
- Extra profitability via saving costs
- Option to directly profit by billing for printing
- Highly flexible, e.g. control by user, user group or printer
- In-depth pricing plans with auto-top-up or pay as you go
- Restrict or charge per page, if color etc
- Blocks documents by keyword e.g. “confidential”
- Easy to understand tabbed interface
- Logging and statistics
- Entirely software driven – no hardware or upgrades required
- Self-contained – no database licensing or other software needed
- Safe to install, without affecting the rest of your network
- Works with Microsoft XP/Vista/Server
Print Manager automatically seeks out all connected computers and printers, without requiring any hardware upgrades. Not one cable extra. It just works, with none of those frustrating “not recognized” errors or technical nightmares that may have held you back before.
Antamedia is known for some quality products like Hotspot, Bandwidth Manager, Internet Cafe Manager etc and they have a wonderful support system which works 7 days a week with telephone, email, instant chat, plus a free online forum for registered clients.
Antamedia Print Manager comes in 4 versions – Lite, Standard, Premium and Corporate costing $99, $249, $399 and $599. You can check out the feature differences amongst the four here and choose the right one for your needs. There is also a Zero risk free trial available with some limitations.
Antamedia Print Manager Lite – Free Licenses Giveaway
Frankly speaking, I thought a lot of times about having this giveaway, since it is not something required for daily use and hence not exactly something a home user would need. But then, this is a professional and highly useful tool for those readers of TechPP who own a small firm or an Internet cafe and as one of the leading technology blogs, it is very important to promote a quality software and at the same time let the users know about such an utility available in the market.
We have 25 free licenses of Antamedia Print manager Lite, each license costing $99. So that is almost $2500 worth of licenses!! Since this is a rare and highly professional software, the giveaway would run for a week (instead of usual 24 hours). Leave a comment below mentioning why you would need a license.
This giveaway closes 12pm CET, 23rd December.
Martin is giving away Paragon Drive Backup 2010 SE for all. Make sure you grab a license as well.

Count me in too
Please Count me in, I manage my prints manually now, and I would just love to have this program
Count on me
Please, help me put some order in all my printing jobs! They are driving me crazy!
THIS LOOKS TO ME LIKE A GREAT THING TO HAVE. WOULD LIKE TO USE THIS FOR PRINTING. THANKS FOR THE CHANCE TO TRY IT OUT.
Sounds like what I need! Our workplace has a public printer, and it would be great to stop all the waste.
I am not in IT, but I tend to be the goto person for troubleshooting printing. This tool is great for review and identifying printing problems and trends. Its a great productivity tool that would allow me to work on my primary projects instead of review multiple computer event logs.
Cheers.
Gary
Are people chosen randomly?
I would like to save on printing costs too.
havent received anything, no reply no news.
Hi,THIS LOOKS TO ME LIKE A GREAT THING TO HAVE.
I read the review,I like it, and would love to have it.Thanks for this offer.
Best Regards,
After we installed Print Management Software and made correct control panel settings, we started to use the printer without any tension. No need to install printers with each computer. You just need one printer which would be attached with one computer system through which all users can take out their printer papers. This software solution works well with our Canon printer.
