‍ThinPrint Engine Integrated with 10ZiG Thin Clients

Printing in virtual desktop environments has long been one of the most persistent challenges for IT teams. While end users expect printing to “just work”, the reality in many VDI and terminal server environments is far more complex. Driver conflicts, unreliable printer mapping, and excessive administrative overhead often turn printing into a support burden.

With the ThinPrint Engine client now fully integrated into the 10ZiG RepurpOS and PeakOS operating systems, printing is significantly simplified. On 10ZiG thin clients, printing is ready to work out of the box – no additional configuration, no extra software, and no ongoing administrative effort.

The Challenge: Printing in Thin Client and Terminal Server Environments

Organizations running Citrix, Omnissa Horizon, or Microsoft RDS on-premises consistently face printing challenges such as:

• Driver management complexity
  Maintaining printer drivers on servers increases risk and support costs.
• Manual thin client configuration
  Traditional Linux-based printing often requires CUPS configuration, queue management, and troubleshooting.
• Unreliable printer mapping
  Locally attached printers fail to appear or disconnect during sessions.
• High support overhead
  IT teams spend valuable time resolving printing issues instead of focusing on strategic initiatives.

The Solution: ThinPrint Engine Client Integrated into 10ZiG

With the ThinPrint Engine client natively integrated into 10ZiG RepurpOS and PeakOS, printing on 10ZiG thin clients is dramatically simplified.

Local USB printers are immediately available and ready to print – without the need for:

• Printer driver management
• CUPS installation or configuration
• Manual queue setup
• Additional client-side software installations

There are no administrative tasks required on the thin client to enable printing. Once connected, printers simply work. This “zero-touch” printing approach eliminates complexity and delivers a true plug-and-play experience for both users and IT teams.

Optimized for On-Prem Terminal Server Environments

The ThinPrint Engine integration is purpose-built for on-premises terminal server deployments, including:

• Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops
• Omnissa Horizon (on-prem)
• Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS)

By aligning directly with these platforms, ThinPrint delivers secure, driverless printing that works seamlessly within shared and published desktop sessions – without relying on traditional print servers.

Key Features of the ThinPrint Engine on 10ZiG

The ThinPrint Engine delivers enterprise-grade printing capabilities directly through the 10ZiG operating system:

• Driverless printing architecture
  No printer drivers required on the server or thin client.
• Out-of-the-box local printer support
  Locally attached USB printers are automatically available – no configuration required.
• Automatic printer mapping (ThinPrint AutoConnect)
  Network and local printers are mapped dynamically at session start.
• Eliminate expensive print servers
  ThinPrint Client embedded in 10ZiG OS eliminates the need for print servers, reducing admin overhead, costs, and carbon footprint.
• Optimized print data compression
  Reduced bandwidth usage and faster print job delivery.
• Universal printer compatibility
  Supports a wide range of printer models without vendor-specific drivers.
• Secure, digitally signed components
  Trusted deployment using GlobalSign R45 certificates.

Concrete Benefits for Your Organization

For End Users

• Instant printing: Plug in a printer and print immediately – no setup or delays.
• Reliable print jobs: No dropped printers or interrupted print sessions.
• Consistent experience: The same behavior across Citrix, Horizon, and RDS sessions.

For IT Administrators

• Zero-touch thin client printing: No driver management, no CUPS administration, and no client software installs.
• Lower operational overhead: Fewer tickets related to printer configuration and troubleshooting.
• Scalable deployment: Ideal for large 10ZiG thin client environments across multiple locations.

For IT Security Teams

• Secure by design: Digitally signed packages ensure software integrity.
• Proven enterprise solution: ThinPrint is a trusted printing technology used across leading VDI platforms.

Extending to the Cloud: ezeep by ThinPrint for DaaS

While the ThinPrint Engine excels in on-premises terminal server environments, organizations moving to cloud desktops can also benefit from ezeep by ThinPrint.

ezeep is a cloud-native printing solution that works seamlessly with 10ZiG thin clients for Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) platforms, including:

• Azure Virtual Desktop
• Windows 365
• AWS DaaS
• Citrix DaaS
• Omnissa Horizon Cloud

With ezeep, print servers are eliminated entirely, enabling secure and flexible printing for hybrid and remote workforces.

Conclusion: Printing That Simply Works

By integrating the ThinPrint Engine client directly into 10ZiG RepurpOS and PeakOS, 10ZiG has removed the traditional complexity of thin client printing. There is nothing to install, nothing to manage, and nothing to troubleshoot on the thin client – printing is ready to work from day one.

For on-prem VDI environments, this delivers a reliable, secure, and low-maintenance printing experience. For cloud desktops, ezeep by ThinPrint extends that simplicity to DaaS platforms.

Together, 10ZiG and ThinPrint deliver a complete, future-ready printing solution that truly just works.
