Press Release Summary: ThinPrint, leading provider of print solutions for
distributed environments, expands its product portfolio with a solution for secure
resource- and cost-saving Follow-me-printing.

Press Release Body: ) Around the world, mountains of paper end up in the trash
unused because users never retrieve a portion of their printouts from the printer. A
waste of money and valuable resources. Oftentimes the forgotten documents also
include security relevant printouts, such as employee contracts, which can fall into
unauthorized hands at the printer. The print optimization experts at ThinPrint
promise a resource-saving and secure solution with their new Follow-me-printing
software, which they will present in a preview version for the first time at CeBIT.



When the user launches a print job, he no longer has to choose from various printers
within the application. Instead, he always uses the available Follow-me-printing
printer. He can then go to any printer of his choice and start the printout via
authentication. Authentication can be requested at the time required in three
different ways: From a multifunction printer by user data input, by using a
smartcard at the print box of the printer or via mobile phone at a network printer.
ThinPrint solution\'s unique feature: For the first time ever, print jobs can be
retrieved on a cell phone. The user sees his print jobs on the mobile phone display
and can select or manage them with the keypad. This is an inexpensive alternative to
hard copy printing that requires absolutely no additional hardware. Printers with
displays, a thin client or a print box with smart card reader are also being
considered as input devices. The company is cooperating with long-term OEM partners
like SEH, OKI and RICOH to implement these solutions.

The Follow-me-printing solution enhances the print management solution continually
improving since 1999, ThinPrint .print, which optimizes the print process through
print data compression, simplified administration, connection-oriented bandwidth
control, print job tracking and SSL-encrypted transmission of print data.

\"Our Follow-me-printing solution is actually just a logical continuation of our goal
to support companies in saving costs and resources with their print output. It
reduces administration effort and also excellently fits into our Green IT strategy
for the responsible handling of resources,\" says Charlotte Künzell, General Manager
at ThinPrint .print. \"Our printer virtualization solutions not only save a company
hardware; the new Follow-me-printing also allows them to concretely reduce their
paper and toner usage.\"
