Windows solution for PrintNightmare was to require elevated credentials to install any printer on any workstation, so they could no longer use group policy and admins were run ragged trying to install printers for everyone that didn't have admin privileges. Too much time was spent internally trying to solve the issue that it became clear it was time for a new solution.      ![](https://www.tricerat.com/hubfs/quote-left.png)A more effective solution for deploying printers. ![](https://www.tricerat.com/hubfs/quote-right.png) Jason Henry Associate, ZGF Architects ## Problem Solved Installation with engineers was simple. After testing ScrewDrivers to ensure proof of concept, the solution was deployed company-wide. The Solution Installing ScrewDrivers was a more effective solution for deploying printers. Support staff is no longer inundated with tickets for printer or driver installation. ** ![](https://www.tricerat.com/hubfs/quote-left.png)End users don't need to jump through hoops in order to print something whenever they need. ![](https://www.tricerat.com/hubfs/quote-right.png) Jason Henry Associate The Results End users don't need to wait for printers or drivers to be installed, which has led to increased efficiency for both users and support staff. Because everything happens on the backend, it's been easier for support staff to manage than traditional print management. Printer proxy has been a very efficient middleman between the printer server and the end user. ** ![](https://www.tricerat.com/hubfs/quote-left.png)ScrewDrivers is like print streaming, you don't need the printers installed on your machines. ![](https://www.tricerat.com/hubfs/quote-right.png) Jason Henry Associate ![](https://www.tricerat.com/hubfs/quote-left.png)End users don't need to jump through hoops in order to print something whenever they need. ![](https://www.tricerat.com/hubfs/quote-right.png) Jason Henry Associate ![](https://www.tricerat.com/hubfs/quote-left.png)ScrewDrivers is like print streaming, you don't need the printers installed on your machines. ![](https://www.tricerat.com/hubfs/quote-right.png) Jason Henry Associate ## Learn More Today Enhance and extend your capabilities Copyright © 2026.Tricerat.All Rights Reserved. | [Privacy Policy](https://www.tricerat.com/privacy-policy?hsLang=en) | [EULA](https://www.tricerat.com/privacy/EULA?hsLang=en) | [Terms of Use](https://www.tricerat.com/terms-of-use/?hsLang=en) | [Sitemap](https://www.tricerat.com/sitemap.xml?hsLang=en)
