See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Date: 12 Jun 1997 00:00:01 EST Impressario versions 1.0 and 1.1 were sold in two packages: client and server. The server software contained filters and device plug-ins for sending print jobs to a printer connected directly to a host workstation. The server software was installed on the system that had the printer physically attached to it. The Client software provided a graphical interfaces to the printing and scanning software. The client software was installed on systems that would access the Impressario print server via a network connection. Starting with Impressario version 1.2 and IRIX 5.2, the client product has been obsoleted. The graphical interfaces to printing now ship as part of IRIX 5.2 and later, so any SGI system can now be an Impressario client. If your clients are all running IRIX 5.2 or later, you need only install Impressario Server on the system that has the printer or scanner physically attached to it. Prior to IRIX 6.2, scanner support, imprint, and psroff were not bundled; they were still part of Impressario Server. IRIX 6.2 and higher includes both the client and server software as a standard part of the operating system (the PostScript RIP required for non-PostScript printers is still licensed separately).
