.print Server & Client Software
To use ThinPrint .print, you will generally install ThinPrint software in two locations: in the client which accesses another computer, and on the server or desktop which is being accessed. The .print Client is installed in the client, whereas .print Engine is installed on the server or (virtual) desktop. These server and client components ensure that print data reaches its destination in its optimal form - for example, via bandwidth control, compression and/or encryption. The .print engine compresses and encrypts, while .print Client uncompresses and decrypts.

ThinPrint prints via its own printer ports, which integrate with the Microsoft system. You can set up as many printer ports as you like. In contrast to Microsoft, ThinPrint allows you to connect any number of printers to a port. For example, you can limit the bandwidth for a branch location, regardless of the number of printers and users located there. Port pooling is also possible: printers that you want to print via the same port are connected to multiple ports with the same configuration. Instead of one port, you can choose between three ports, and you are also able to process three print jobs at the same time. You can select between user and server-based licensing.
