Introducing HostExplorer Print Services

HostExplorer Print Services is a server-based, scalable printing solution that lets you distribute reports from host computers to any LAN (local area network) printer in your enterprise network.

HostExplorer connects desktop computers to IBM mainframes, and IBM-compatible systems to IBM midrange systems (the AS/400 family).

Print Services has two key components:

ServiceĀ  Starts automatically whenever a machine on which it is installed starts Windows. Service runs in the background as a Windows NT service, formatting host reports and routing them to LAN printers.

ConsoleĀ  Lets LAN administrators to configure and monitor the functions of Service. Console is a Windows application that is used to create printer definitions that connect LAN printers to a host and to monitor the activities of Service.
