The recently released Printer Driver RTK/API version 14.92 comes with new advanced printer driver installation technology for developers.

By using the new advanced install technology, developers can install the printer driver and driver package easily with a single function call.

The new installation technology also comes with a new feature to add a Parallel Printer to an existing Black Ice printer driver with a single function call.

Parallel Printers offer parallel document conversion when printing documents to different printers at the same time. The Printers also can be configured separately, allowing users to easily preconfigure the printers for specific tasks. Parallel printing results in faster document conversion leading to less wait time.

Improve fax server throughput capacity with the new parallel printing technology by having multiple fax channels served by a single parallel printer driver.
