ThinPrint Engine

The printing solution for remote and virtual desktop environments

The leading print solution for remote and virtual desktop environments ensures full control over virtualized print architectures, whether they are Microsoft, VMware, Citrix, Parallels or heterogeneous environments. The easy-to-implement print management system reduces the burden on IT administrators by conveniently managing all corporate printers and printer drivers. Thanks to automatic printer mapping, employees connect to the right printers in every session – even in home-offices. Optimal compression, SpeedCache, streaming and encryption all ensure both fast and secure remote and virtual desktop printing.

High availability printing thanks to load balancing and failover

ThinPrint Engine delivers load balancing and failover for print servers and clients, ensuring you benefit from true high-availability printing.

Radical reduction in print data

ThinPrint’s intelligent compression process achieves a reduction in print data volume of up to 98%. Print data is compressed on all lines, including from workstations in branch offices to the print server at headquarters and from here to the printer. As a result, ThinPrint Engine ensures high printing speeds and prevents bandwidth bottlenecks.

Secure printing – even without VPN

ThinPrint Engine uses SSL/TLS encryption (128-bit) when transferring print jobs, thus protecting even the most sensitive documents. ThinPrint software integrated into the hardware allows even end-to-end encryption right up to the printer. The ThinPrint Secure Tunnel creates a highly-secure print tunnel from the client to the print server, allowing seamless TCP/IP printing, even in masked networks. Thanks to the ThinPrint Secure Tunnel, businesses no longer need expensive VPN connections to ensure secure printing in branch offices.

Tracking and reporting print volumes

ThinPrint Engine records and analyzes company-wide printing behavior as well as the resulting printing costs. More on print tracking »

Driver Free Printing reduces printing problems

Driver Free Printing prevents printing problems caused by incompatible drivers, and saves administrators from having to distribute and update printer drivers. That’s why ThinPrint’s virtual printer driver, the ThinPrint Output Gateway, replaces all printer drivers on the printing server or desktops. ThinPrint V-Layer also enables Driver Free Printing on remote desktop servers and virtual desktops. The original print drivers are kept centrally on the print server with everywhere else using only the ThinPrint Output Gateway virtual printer driver.

Advanced printing options for driverless and native printing

With ThinPrint’s virtual printer driver, almost all advanced printing options can be utilized, regardless of the printer model. However, ThinPrint also supports native printer drivers to enable printing with specialized devices with individual printing options. If a company decides to use original printer drivers, it can access all proven ThinPrint features – just as with driverless printing from ThinPrint.

Effortless printer assignment thanks to automatic printer mapping

ThinPrint AutoConnect ensures that users always have access to the required printer. With the Dynamic Printer Matrix configuration table, the IT department can automate which client printers should be mapped and connected to which templates. More on printer mapping »

IT administration-free branch offices

Even printing in branch offices doesn’t place any extra burden on IT departments. The ThinPrint Hub, which integrates any number of printers into the corporate network, is simply connected in individual branches. A VPN connection is no longer required for secure printing in remote and branch offices, and local print servers can also be eliminated.

Central, automated management of complex environments

ThinPrint Engine enables simplified, database-driven setup and management of complex print environments. This gives you a full overview of hardware, drivers, clients and branch offices. ThinPrint takes on the tedious tasks of creating thousands of printers and adds whole print landscapes to new branch offices within minutes. Print servers, including all printer objects and printer drivers, can be quickly set up, conveniently managed and easily migrated. More on ThinPrint Management Services »

High-performance batch printing for host systems

ThinPrint’s Host Integration Service enables smooth batch printing when using host systems. Externally generated host print streams are integrated into Citrix XenApp and Microsoft Remote Desktop Service environments, ensuring secure transmission via the ICA/HDX or RDP protocols.

Convenient printer self-service for your employees

Now printing is fun – thanks to the user-friendly Printer Self Service. Users can conveniently search printers using different criteria and add them to the already preselected ones.

Mobile printing from remote and virtual desktop sessions

Mobile Session Print enables iPad and iPhone users to print directly from remote apps, virtual desktop sessions or any other Windows-based session to local printers. Whether Citrix Receiver, VMware Horizon, Microsoft Remote Desktop or TeamViewer – iOS users print to any AirPrint™ printer nearby.

Advanced printing options including finishing optimize your printouts

Thanks to ThinPrint’s virtual printer driver, users in almost any IT architecture can benefit from virtually every print option and feature of their destination printer, including the finishing options of multifunction printers such as hole-punching, stapling and binding.
