ClusterQue® is a stand-alone cluster printing and print queue management
product that is based on LBM Systems' powerful output management suite, AXIAR.
ClusterQue is a server-based
network printing software solution that
provides three critical capabilities
for Hewlett-Packard LaserJet and DeskJet
printing environments:
1. Throughput
ClusterQue harnesses the power of multiple LaserJet printers by automatically
splitting large print files across a cluster or group of printers
2. Reliability
ClusterQue will detect errors on a printer or a print cluster and ensure that
print jobs are only sent to functional printers, delivering maximum uptime
and guaranteed print job completion for mission critical printing
3. Management
ClusterQue is a complete print queue management solution that allows administrators
and authorized users to dynamically manage print jobs and print environments
Robust features include:
Job splitting
Distributes large print files across a cluster which maximizes throughput capabilities
and eliminates reliance on single printer/single point of failure print systems.
For example, ClusterQue software turns three 50 ppm printers into a single
150 ppm printing system with printer redundancy.
Reliable print job distribution
ClusterQue will detect errors on a printer or cluster and ensure that print
jobs are only sent to functional printers. ClusterQue can be configured to
redirect unprinted pages automatically without page loss.
Queue management
• Print requests can be stopped
• Jobs can be re-started at any page or partially printed
• Jobs can be re-routed to different printers
• Jobs can be re-queued for later printing, eliminating the need to regenerate
printing requests from applications and allows partial range printing
Global printer cluster diagnostics
Displays condition of all printers and print jobs in an easy-to-use GUI so
administrators and authorized users can easily manage clusters from a single
point of control, even remotely.
Web JetAdmin Interface
ClusterQue can be configured to open Web JetAdmin for even greater printer
control and management.
Intelligent Load balancing
Automatically load balances print jobs across a cluster so that print jobs
will always be sent to the next available, least-used printer or cluster.
Printer and cluster prioritizing
Users can define parameters such as priority, load, and class of printer so
that print files can be processed in order of importance and routed to the
first available printer or cluster without operator intervention.
