Simplify Printing

Simplify Printing is a print driver solution for Windows environments designed to overcome remote printing limitations. Yes, Simplify Printing is a Universal Print Driver solution, but triCerat's technology functions unlike any other UPD on the market. Other UPDs are designed with generic and basic settings in an attempt to support as many client drivers and printers possible, providing remote printing support for 80-90% of Windows drivers. ScrewDrivers is a client-server solution; this ScrewDrivers client queries the drivers to get a list of features (such as Color, DPI, Paper Sizes, Trays, the name of Trays, etc), passes the driver settings up to the server, and the ScrewDrivers server virtualizes the driver using the ScrewDrivers UPD. This process guarantees that the server driver is 100% compatible with the client driver, supporting 100% of Windows drivers that utilize the Windows Print Spooler.

The ScrewDrivers Client can be loaded on any Windows PC and Windows XPe. Simplify Printing also includes a Print Server plug-in, allowing the ScrewDrivers UPD to communicate directly with print servers. This means that all clients can print in Citrix and Terminal Servers directly to Print Servers regardless of OS, Fat Client, Thin Client, Windows, Mac, Linux, UNIX, Smart Phone, etc.

Since ScrewDrivers supports any Windows-based driver, implementing Simplify Printing completely eliminates driver management on Citrix and Terminal Servers. Furthermore, Simplify Printing can be installed on Windows FAT clients. This means that there is no driver management required on client PCs either; printers in the entire infrastructure can be migrated to Print Servers, providing a centralized, uncorruptible, reliable print solution for local and remote printing.

Other benefits:

compression - all ScrewDrivers print jobs are automatically compressed between the server and client which improves the speed of printing. Compression varies based on application and driver, but typical compression rates are 80% to 90%, meaning that 10MB gets compressed to 2 to 1MB. This causes no overhead on the server.

streaming - print jobs are streamed, basically for larger print jobs it will start physically printing out before the job completes the spool process on the server.

exports - the user can use ScrewDrivers printers to save PDFs or BMPs, much like PDF995 and CutePDF

font embedding - various functions that provide accurate font printing.

x86 and x64 compatibility -  Simplify Printing automatically handles x86 and x64 compatibility. This means that your clients can be loaded with standard x86 drivers and print from a x64 application server without a hitch.

print as image - unique ScrewDrivers feature that overcomes and resolves all graphical output issues.

proximity printing - printers can be assigned to IPs, IP ranges, and client name for proximity printing.

Simplify Printing is made up of three technologies, ScrewDrivers, Print Server, and Native Drivers.
