Screwdrivers v4 offers an exciting new solution for administrators who are unable to install the Screwdrivers client piece (for instance, with thin clients) or are looking to consolidate the print drivers and spooling to print servers. There are two pieces in the Screwdrivers v4 print service, the terminal server piece and the print server piece.

The terminal server piece will act as the Screwdrivers server. Through the interface, you can select what users or groups are able to see and print to specific printers from the print servers. The print server piece will act as the Screwdrivers client. The print server piece will build its local and network printers to the Screwdrivers server and any print job that a user starts will go directly from the terminal server to the print server. This means that there is no spooling on the client's local machine, and all print information is sent between the servers instead of the server and client. Another benefit of this scenario is when the print server is across a WAN from the terminal server.
