In depth
A closer look at Active Printer
Active Printer is a small but mighty printer utility from Palick Soft. The idea behind this ingenious tool is brilliantly simple - after installation, Active Printer icon appears in your system tray and lets you choose your active printer (the printer you are about to use) with just one mouse click.
No need to browse through countless options, change your settings, then change them back.
Modern offices frequently have several printers connected to one network - laser printers, jet printers, color printers, as well as specialty printers. Some companies, particularly in the areas of photography, design, and architecture, digital imaging and some others, may have dozens of different printers and plotters that they have to use every day. Active Printer is specially designed for such companies to help you make switching between printers easy, as well as to save your time. Another advantage or this software is an option that allows you to switch fast using floating transparent window and capability to setup printing preferences by right-clicking on printer icon in floating window.
Active Printer costs only $18.90 and comes as a 30 day trial full-featured version. That's right, you get to test the software free of charge and pay for it only if you are completely satisfied.
