Tom Mager, vice president of software engineering, Zoran’s Imaging Division, said, “Zoran’s UPD software solution enables manufacturers to quickly build a versatile, highly-localized, fully-featured universal print driver. Its powerful network device discovery capability and unified administrative features can be deployed across entire enterprise product lines.”
“Zoran’s universal print driver solution is a technologically superior product compared to other available solutions,” said Simon Dolan, senior vice president and general manager, Zoran’s Imaging Division. “In addition, Zoran’s consistent ability to deliver high quality solutions on-time and according to specifications has enabled quick OEM deployment of Zoran-based universal print drivers to end customers.”
