I can speak to both ThinPrint and Tricerat from production experience. Both
of these are excellent products that are well written and well supported.
ThinPrint has a number of extended features which make it a good choice for
a more complex environment such as large corporations with multiple sites,
handheld devices, the need for printing gateways, etc. Simplify Printing is
more focused on straight ahead WIN32 clients and does a great job at it.
In short, both are excellent products that don't cause headaches, the choice
between them should be based on feature requirements, pricing, reseller
support, etc.
APM, as I understand it, is more about managing client printing using the
built in tools/drivers from MS and Citrix and is an excellent choice if your
needs are more about setting up printer mappings and finding the correct
driver to map, monitoring the print error log and quickly resolving failed
auto-creates. It does not provide a universal print driver per se, but makes
mappings and auto creation a lot easier to deal with.

Subject: [THIN] 3rd party print tools comparison
Are there any fairly recent articles comparing the major 3rd party print
tools for Citrix/TS? Or perhaps, has anyone had good experience with them
and have an unbiased opinion (ergo, you don't work for one of the
companies!). The 3 big names I see always mentioned are APM, ThinPrint, and
TriCerat ScrewDrivers/Simpliy Printing. Am I missing any other popular
ones?
