Virtual printer driver of ThinPrint without 64-bit printer driver under Windows Server 2008 R2 are applicable at the latest since Windows Server 2008 R2 is to stop developing: 64-bit is in the company. But there is a dilemma. No 64-bit driver is available for many printers and a development on the part of the printer manufacturer is not planned. Who wants to save the investment in new hardware, can use two virtual printer driver of ThinPrint: the ThinPrint output gateway (DRIVER FREE PRINTING) and the ThinPrint V-layer. Both solutions are core technologies of the ThinPrint .print product family.

One way is to install the virtual printer driver of ThinPrint output gateway on the server and the 32-bit original printer drivers on a 32-bit desktop. This desktop then takes over the treatment of the printing and delivery to the printer. Alternatively, use of a thin client with embedded XP is possible, where the 32-bit printer driver will be installed. Should all the printer drivers on a central print server a very effective way to simplify making system administration are managed in the ThinPrint V layer ensure that printers with 32-bit drivers cannot be used further. On a 32-bit print server are the V layer as well as the 32-bit manufacturer printer driver deposited. Print jobs are processed automatically with the correct printer driver. Printer with 32-bit drivers must not be replaced.

“In large environments is quickly about five-digit amounts, when dozens of printers need to be replaced. Apart from that it would be an irresponsible waste of resources, if you would discard printer just because of missing drivers”, so Charlotte Kunzell, Board member of ThinPrint. “This shows once again clear that solutions for the optimization of pressure will make a decisive contribution to reducing costs.” On the manufacturer’s website valid demo versions for the printing of Citrix, remote desktop can demo free, 30 day printing Terminal Services (printing), remote printing and Virtual printing can be downloaded.
