Printing on UNIX and Linux can often be challenging to configure and support due to the lack of unified printing systems and APIs. Codehosts BrightQ package includes an easy to use X Window System and UNIX Shell-Based installation and configuration wizard that mitigates the challenge of installing and configuring Ricoh printers on UNIX and Linux systems. BrightQ supports a number of Ricoh output devices including the Aficio 1022/1027 PS, Aficio 1060/1075 PS, Aficio 1224/1232 PS, CL 3000 PS, and AP 3800C PS, among others.
The key advantages BrightQ provides to the end user include finishing capabilities such as document duplexing, stapling, sorting and hole punching, and BrightQ supports commonly installed print utilities such as CUPS, LPR, LPD, SMB and IPP. Additionally, BrightQ provides a unified printing interface across all supported operating environments. Supported UNIX systems include Sun Solaris (x86 and ULTRASparc), Hewlett Packards HP-UX, Irix by Silicon Graphics, IBMs AIX, SCO Open UNIX, SCO Open Server and FreeBSD. BrightQ also supports all major Linux distributions including Red Hat, SuSE and Mandrake.
BrightQ is comprised of four core modules including BrightInstall, Codehosts turnkey installer designed to simplify both installation and un-installation; Codehosts License Manager, which allows users to upgrade BrightQ without replacing the application; a Configuration Tool, which abstracts the most complex print configuration options and a Print Job Manager, the dynamic UNIX and Linux printing user interface that is accessible from virtually all UNIX or Linux applications.
BrightQ exemplifies Ricohs goal of continually offering viable solutions that enhance our product line as well as improve our customers bottom-line, said Hede Nonaka, Vice President of Marketing for Ricoh Corporation.
