PrinterAnywhere

License Type: Free
Price: Free
Date Added: Oct 2006
Operating Systems: Windows XP
File Size: 1.24KB
Author: PrinterAnywhere Inc.

Send files to someone else's printer -- around the corner or around the world.

Want to print a document directly on a buddy's printer, anywhere in the world? If you're both online, you can do it with PrinterAnywhere.

The free utility installs on both PCs and you can choose the PrinterAnywhere printer from any application. An encrypted version shoots through the 'Net and prints on your buddy's printer. Turn the idea around and you can share your printer with anyone. It's ideal for sending confidential docs (the file's encrypted when sent) and unlike e-mail, it can't be forwarded.

StarOffice is now part of the Google Pack

Google Pack, the collection of applications recommended by Google, includes a new software: StarOffice, an office suite developed by Sun. In 2000 Sun released StarOffice's source code, which became the foundation of OpenOffice.org, an open source project sponsored by Sun.

StarOffice 8 is a full-featured office suite that contains a word processor, a spreadsheet tool, applications for presentations, databases, math formulas and drawing. It has support for most Microsoft Office formats (except for the formats introduced in Office 2007), but it can also export documents as PDF out of the box. The software normally costs $70, but it's available for free in Google Pack. It's worth noting that StarOffice has a huge installer (more than 140 MB), so you should download it only if you have a fast Internet connection.
