In-plants Must Find New Roles

The Internet will play a vital role in the way documents are distributed in the future, and Web-based printing represents an area of opportunity for the in-plants that choose to participate. In-plant managers can educate themselves on this topic by attending seminars and visiting sites like the Internet Printing Protocol at www.pwg.org/ipp. This site is dedicated to defining a protocol that can cover the most common situations for printing on the Internet. Major printer and print server manufacturers are participating in this project, as are Microsoft and Netscape.
