---- Printer, Copier and Multifunctional Product Market in EMEA Grew 6 Per Cent in the First Half of 2007, Says Gartner:
The combined printer, copier and multifunctional product (MFP) shipments market in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) totaled 23.4 million units, an increase of 5.8 per cent in the first half of 2007 compared with the same period last year, according to Gartner, Inc. Gartner predicts that the market in EMEA will reach almost 54 million units in 2007.
The trend that saw shipments of copiers and MFP outnumber shipments of printers in the second half of 2006 continued strongly in the first half of 2007. Copiers and MFP sales represented 53 per cent of the total market. “Sales in this segment were primarily driven by serial inkjet MFP sales that accounted for 41 per cent of the total print market,” said Cecile Drew, principal research analyst at Gartner.
In the serial inkjet market, Hewlett-Packard retained its position as market leader accounting for almost half of the total market share. Kodak made its debut in this market introducing two new MFP devices in the second quarter of 2007 in Germany and the UK. In the second quarter of 2007, Hewlett-Packard introduced its first new Egdeline technology MFP devices. “These new products brought inkjet into the domain of departmental colour printing, allowing lower printing cost in the office and moving it into direct competition with Xerox and Canon,” Ms Drew added. “Hewlett-Packard has on several occasions made attempts to penetrate the corporate copier and MFP market, but with limited success. This time, the company has an attractive product portfolio to do well in this segment.”
In the page market, Samsung Electronics performed particularly well in the first half of 2007. “The company expanded its product portfolio with faster speed devices that would help it to compete with the leading players in the business segment. Continued strong performance in Eastern Europe helped the company close the gap on the likes of Hewlett-Packard and Canon and reach the No.2 position in the EMEA page market.
---- The Paper Full Office:
Over the last ten years, computers, e-mail, and the internet have been supposedly introducing the paperless office. However, the opposite has occurred with people routinely printing out digital documents including web pages and emails and anything else they desired.
According to industry analyst Lyra Research 1,520 billion pages of documents were printed in 2006. In the US each man, woman and child uses 700lb of paper annually and the average office worker generates 2lb of paper waste per day.
The numbers are increasing worldwide and escalating more than ever when you bring in the emerging economies of China, Brazil, Russia and India. World Resources Institute, an environmental think-tank, estimates that globally paper consumption has increased by a factor of 20 this century, has more than tripled during the past 30 years, and is expected to grow by a further 50% by 2010.
“It’s a bit embarrassing really,” said Jim Joyce, Xerox’s vice-president of office services. “Twenty years ago in the early part of my career we were talking about the paperless office. If anything things have gone in the opposite direction.
“The wealthiest woman in China today owns a paper-recycling plant.”
But, said Joyce, there are finally signs that attitudes, at least, are changing. Xerox has been one of the firms advising Lloyd’s on ways to reduce its paper trail. The company’s office services division consults with many of the world’s top companies on ways to manage the documents they produce.
After a paper audit of one client, Dow Chemicals, Xerox found the firm had 16,000 printers across its offices producing 480m printouts a year. While each document printed cost little, in total all that printing added up to $100m over five years.
Second the environmental cost of all this paper use is an increasingly important factor for companies looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
“Europe is way ahead of the US on this,” said Joyce. “But when you look at paper, you have to look at the entire supply chain.” Along with the document itself there is the waste generated by the printer and its cartridges, the fuel to transport the paper and supplies and the manufacture of the paper. The paper industry is the fourth-largest industrial consumer of fossil fuels on the planet.
Print Manager Plus is the best cost and most effective software solution to control paper and toner waste as it can be easily administered by existing IT staff with no training and can reduce printing by half without adversely affecting employee production.

---- HP Extends Lead in Blade Server Market, Growing Factory Revenue by 72 Percent in Second Quarter:
HP extended its lead in the worldwide blade server market in both total blade server units shipped and factory revenue, according to second calendar quarter 2007 server market figures released today by industry analyst firm IDC.(¹)
HP significantly increased its lead as the No. 1 blade server vendor in the period with 47.2 percent total factory revenue share, a year-over-year factory revenue growth rate of 71.9 percent.
As businesses require more powerful and scalable computing solutions for traditional applications and new workloads such as Web 2.0, high-performance computing and gaming, HP saw increased demand for its HP BladeSystem c-Class architecture and ProLiant family of servers in the second quarter of 2007. HP maintained its commanding lead as the No. 1 x86 server vendor, with 34.8 percent unit market share, growing at 18.2 percent year over year in a market that grew unit shipments 7.8 percent.
As the worldwide server market accelerated overall, HP held its No. 1 position in unit shipments for the 21st straight quarter, increasing its server units by 17.4 percent year over year in the second quarter and growing unit shipments the fastest of the top five vendors in the worldwide server market. With impressive growth across its ProLiant, Integrity and BladeSystem families, HP captured 33.7 percent total unit shipment share, shipping more than one out of every three servers in the world; it also grew server factory revenue faster than the market.
"HP's continued market leadership demonstrates we are successfully investing in areas critical for our customers’ success,” said Scott Stallard, senior vice president and general manager, Enterprise Storage and Servers, HP. “HP’s innovation across our server and BladeSystem portfolios is driving customer preference that competitors cannot match and makes us a key technology partner for today’s environments and those to come."
Highlights from IDC's worldwide report include:
Leading the blade server market for the third consecutive quarter, HP grew its total blade factory revenue by 71.9 percent in the second quarter of 2007, powered by increasing customer demand for the HP BladeSystem c-Class architecture. During the quarter, HP captured 46.2 percent unit shipment share and 47.2 percent factory revenue share and gained 13.2 percentage points of unit shipment share and 9.7 percentage points in revenue year over year.
Outpacing the x86 server market overall, HP increased its lead to 35.1 percent factory revenue share and 34.8 percent shipment share. Driven by customer demand for new workloads beyond the typical strongholds, HP saw increased success with its ProLiant family of servers, growing x86 factory revenue 17.5 percent year over year.
Showing continued leadership across the high-performance computing market, HP tied for the No. 1 position with 32.7 percent market share. HP continued to hold the No. 1 position in the high-performance computing cluster market in the second quarter of 2007 with 29.5 percent revenue share, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of leadership.(²)
In the highly competitive AMD® Opteron™ processor-based server market segment, HP maintained its No. 1 position in both revenue and factory units shipped. Leading the competition in Intel® and AMD x86-64-based servers, HP shipped more than 2.4 times and 22.3 times as many servers as IBM and Sun, respectively.
Driven by continued success with the HP Integrity and HP Integrity NonStop family of servers, HP held the No. 1 position in the EPIC/Itanium® processor market segment in both factory revenue and units shipped, with 42.3 percent factory revenue growth year over year in the second quarter of 2007.
Growing significantly faster than the market, HP grew Linux server unit shipments and factory revenue by 30.6 percent and 43.8 percent, respectively. HP remains the No. 1 Linux server vendor, gaining more than 6 percentage points of factory revenue share in the second quarter of 2007.
In combined Windows®, Linux and UNIX server unit shipments and factory revenue, HP maintained its No. 1 position with 33.6 percent and 32.0 percent share, respectively. These three operating systems account for 97.8 percent of all servers shipped worldwide.
---- A ‘Back to School’ Tip to Improve the School Budget:
Printer Control Software Saves Schools $2,000 a Month
With schools re-opening soon, here is a way, applicable to most schools everywhere, for them to improve their budget. Print Manager Plus, a print monitoring system which gives full control over all printing resources by tracking and reporting printing usage and costs across networks, is saving a school £12,000 ($24,000) a Year
King's Academy, a school in Middlesbrough, England, used to have the problem of astronomic printing costs that were spiralling out of control. But, now that they have implemented the print management system, Print Manager Plus, from Software Shelf International, they are reporting savings of around £12,000 ($24,000) a year due to reduced wastage of ink, paper and printer wear and tear.
The software includes many cost-saving features such as the ability to restrict students’ printing rights by colour, file type and file name. So, for example, students might be able to print spreadsheet documents but not jpg files. That puts a stop to unnecessary print outs of David Beckham, sports cars or Paris Hilton straight away.
But a case that gets across the sheer power of this software to reduce costs is the story of a student of the school who decided to print 700 copies of the same photo “as a joke”. Thanks to the feature that allows you to see exactly what students have printed and to hold them accountable for it if necessary – the school was able to bill his parents for the ink and paper used.
"Within 2 weeks, Print Manager Plus paid for itself and we've been re-investing the savings back into our school," says Kevin Bowker, a school administrator. "We're saving about £12,000 a year, which has allowed us to upgrade our PCs, printers, and more."
Christian Delalez, vice president of the company’s European office states, “Print Manager Plus makes total accounting sense because it allows you to keep track of who’s printing what, where and when. Without it, you have no control and are completely in the dark! Unfortunately, this is still the case for most schools and colleges everywhere. There are huge savings to be made here.”

http://www.softwareshelf.com/files/supportfaqsearch.asp
---- How can I specify only users that are enabled in an LDAP query?
There are numerous filters you can apply when you perform an LDAP query. To check a user’s enabled status, you must check the user account flags. To check for a disabled user, you can use
useraccountcontrol:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2
To check for a non-disabled user, you can add not (!) to the start of the query. For example,
!(useraccountcontrol:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)
When used as part of a query, this will result in a listing of only enabled users.
---- How can I generate a list of all the SMTP mail addresses a user has?
The following script generates a list of all the SMTP addresses for enabled users. (You need to modify the strRootDomain variable.)
'
Option Explicit
Dim objCommand, objConnection, objChild, objUserConnection, strBase, strFilter, strAttributes, strsn, strgivenname,strinitials
Dim objShell, lngBiasKey, k, PasswordExpiry, strRootDomain, email
Dim strQuery, objRecordset, strName, strCN
********************* CHANGE THESE VALUES TO ROOT OF WHERE USERS WILL BE SEARCHED ***********************************
strRootDomain="ou=users,dc=savilltech,dc=net"
'
*****************************************************************************************************************************************
Set objCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
objConnection.Open "Active Directory Provider"
objCommand.ActiveConnection = objConnection
strBase = " strFilter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(proxyaddresses=*)(!(useraccountcontrol:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))"
strAttributes = "sAMAccountName,cn,distinguishedName,displayname"
strQuery = strBase & ";" & strFilter & ";" & strAttributes & ";subtree"
objCommand.CommandText = strQuery
objCommand.Properties("Page Size") = 100
objCommand.Properties("Timeout") = 30
objCommand.Properties("Cache Results") = False
Set objRecordSet = objCommand.Execute
WScript.echo "Running at " & Date()
Do Until objRecordSet.EOF
strName = objRecordSet.Fields("sAMAccountName").Value
Wscript.Echo "Display Name: " & objRecordSet.Fields("displayname").Value
Set objUserConnection = GetObject("LDAP://" & objRecordSet.Fields
("distinguishedName").Value)
For each email in objUserConnection.proxyAddresses
If Left (email,5) = "SMTP:" Then
WScript.Echo "Primary e-mail address: " & Mid (email,6)
ElseIf Left (email,5) = "smtp:" Then
WScript.Echo "Seconary e-mail address: " & Mid (email,6) End If
Next
objRecordSet.MoveNext
