The screen shots below describe the configuration options available to the administrator or end-user for controlling the aspects of the ScrewDrivers v3 client-side component. All of the options described below are available throught the client-side control panel applet located under Start\Settings\Control Panel. A screen shot of the applet is provided below for reference.

The Printers tab is for printer management. The option for printer spoofing allows the user to specify an alternative default printer for terminal sessions. To spoof a printer, make sure that the box is selected and choose the appropriate printer from the drop-down list. Printer spoofing is ideal for a situation where an end-user partially works locally on the client machine, but also spends a ceratin amount of time working through a terminal session on the terminal server. For example, on the local-side the end-user needs one printer set as default, but in the terminal session they need another. Spoofing will allow this to happen. Spoofing may also prove useful with an end-user working from home. They could keep their locally defined default printer set as normal, but could spoof an office network printer (through say a VPN connection) so that printjobs could be sent to the office as needed.

It is now possible to specify which printers will be built or not built into a terminal session. This is accomplished through the Available, Preferred, and Denied printer lists. An administrator or end-user can use the "Add" and "Remove" buttons to shift printers between the Available, Preferred, or Denied lists.

NOTE: Printers assigned under both the Available and Preferred lists will be built, but with the Preferred being built first.

Finally, in the course of regular maintenance on user machines or printer servers, printer drivers are often updated either to correct bugs or add in new features. As mentioned before, the ScrewDrivers v3 product now caches printer driver data and uses that data each time a user logs into a terminal session to build printers. Now, when a printer driver is updated on the client's machine or on a printer server, this does not automatically update the cached data stored by the ScrewDrivers v3 client-side component. This being the case, the ScrewDrivers v3 client-side component has a new feature called the "Query Printers" button which makes the updating of the cached printer driver data very simple. The only thing an administrator or end-user has to do after updating a printer driver is open up the ScrewDrivers v3 client-side Control Panel Applet and click on the "Query Printers" button in the lower-left corner of the "Printers" tab. This will update the printer data cached in the client machine's registry and subsequently allow the ScrewDrivers v3 product to make use of the update printer driver.

The settings under the Connection tab allow the administrator or end-user to limit the amount of bandwidth available to a printjob for the protocol in use. Please note that limitations are established for RDP and ICA separately. As a side note, these settings are rarely used. They are in place only for situations where slower dial-up connections (ie 14.4, 28.8) may still be in use in a particular environment.

The About tab simply provides the build number for the ScrewDrivers v3 client-side component and a button to click on which links to the triCerat, Inc. main website.
