Migrating to Windows 7 and trouble-free printing
Successfully migrate to Windows 7
Are you planning to migrate to Windows 7 within your IT environment and simultaneously upgrade to 64-bit?
Windows XP-Mode based on Virtual PC, which is integrated by Microsoft, helps make the transition straightforward. Essential business applications not compatible with the latest architecture are seamlessly integrated into Windows 7 and can be used without any limitations.
The printing challenge
Thanks to virtualization, previously incompatible software can run on new systems – a time-tested method of keeping migration costs to a minimum. If however existing hardware is to be integrated into a new environment, at the latest when it comes to printing, you will come up against a serious hurdle: For many printer models there are no 64-bit drivers available – making printing an insurmountable challenge.
Virtual printing – actual savings
ThinPrint allows you to install and maintain native printer drivers centrally on just one print server. Time spent on printer driver administration is reduced to a minimum. Whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit client operating system, you only install the ThinPrint virtual printer driver on each PC. Transform all printers on your print server into V-Layer printers with just one click and take advantage of reliable printing – from every workplace, on every printer.
