Supported Environments

Page 19: Virtualising your Print Architecture

Support - Environment

Simple – Any environment is supported by ThinPrint technology.

Centralised architectures requires centralised services.

Multiple protocol support ICA, RDP, TCP/IP, LPR...

Windows is the most common platform that is encountered in the Data Centre.

Sharing printers from a central source to ANY environment, that's not ThinPrint that's Microsoft!

Page 20: Virtualising your Print Architecture

Support - Device

Rule of Thumb - If it can be installed in a Windows OS then its supported by ThinPrint.

The ThinPrint Output Gateway driver is independent from ThinPrint Compression.

ThinPrint can compress Native print driver data (RAW) as well as Windows print data (EMF).

More and more devices come with .print embedded.

More print server or embedded print devices available to make your current print fleet .print enabled.

Strategic partners

Citrix certified .print as the first print solution for their customers worldwide with the Citrix Ready logo.

Microsoft has signed and certified the virtual printer driver for all current Microsoft desktop and server operating systems.

Basic features of ThinPrint .print technology are integrated into all VMware desktop virtualization solutions.

Renowned hardware partners including printer, thin client and print server manufacturers already integrate .print client into their devices.
