Advanced User-Interface
The INTELLIscribe user interface allows users to easily view on-screen status information about queues, jobs, and destinations. (Read more on the Advanced user interface)
Reduce Demand on Servers
Windows printing takes many resources to complete. If you have an NT or Novell server that is running low on resources, INTELLIscribe can spool print jobs, freeing resources on the server.
Easy Reprint
Print jobs can easily be reprinted without launching the original application. In a normal situation, reprinting usually includes opening the application again and selecting Print from the File menu. This takes time and uses resources to complete. (Read more about reprint)
Fail over
Using the fail-over policy, the first destination is always tried first. If the first destination fails, the print job then tries the next, and so on until all destinations have been tried. (Read more on Fail-over printing)
Drag-and-Drop
Users can simply drag a "printer ready" file over a "Virtual Printer Port," by-passing the Windows print driver. This spools files without any modification to the file, unlike many other print spoolers, such as the Windows Print Manager. (Read more on drag and drop printing)
Broadcast/Multicast
The broadcast/multicast policy is used to spool each print job to all destinations associated with the queue. (Read more about printing to multiple printers)
History Maintenance / Archiving
INTELLIscribe can be configured to archive print jobs. Print jobs are saved to a spool directory under the main INTELLIscribe folder. You can configure INTELLIscribe for the following archiving options: (Read more about print history & archiving)

Shared Printing
INTELLIscribe's shared printing feature transforms the users print environment into a print distribution center. This combination merges Windows network printing with TCP/IP printing thereby elevating the entire print environment. (Read more on shared printing)
Round Robin
The round robin policy remembers the previously tried printer and schedules the job for the next destination in the list. (Read more about round robin printing)
Automated Setup
Brooks Internet Software can customize the INTELLIscribe Setup application to automatically install printers in the Windows Print Manager and configure "Virtual Printer Ports" during installation.
Simple Configuration
An easy-to-use "wizard" guides users through the steps of configuring INTELLIscribe making it easier to be up and running in a matter of minutes.
Command-Line Interface
This feature is similar to the "lpr" commands in UNIX and Windows NT/2000. ISendFile sends jobs, unmodified, to the "virtual printer port" of your choice. (Read more about the Command-Line Interface)
Destination Balancing
The destination balancing policy keeps statistics on the amount of data sent to each printer. Any new print jobs coming in will be sent to the printer that has been the least used. (Read more on print destination balancing)
Setup Replication
Once INTELLIscribe is configured initially, you can backup the "virtual printer port" configuration to a file. This file can be used to create similar configuration on multiple computers.
