PRESS RELEASE
ThinPrint for SAP and Unix users
ThinPrint announces the .print Host Integration Service for Microsoft Terminal
Services and Citrix MetaFrame.
(Berlin, March 2005) Many businesses that run Microsoft Terminal Services or
Citrix MetaFrame use the platform to access SAP and Unix applications. When the
print data isn?t created on the terminal or MetaFrame server, though, it can?t
even be sent with the ICA or RDP protocol to the client, much less be optimized
or compressed.
Many of the advantages of a server based architecture could therefore not be
used with SAP and UNIX applications. Home users, mobile employees, users in
remote offices, and even users at HQ could only print with a very high level of
administrative work, if they could print at all. The new .print Host
Integration Service has changed that.
If a user starts a print job from SAP or Unix, the .print Host Integration
Service first identifies the terminal or MetaFrame server on which that user is
working. From there, the print data is compressed and sent across controlled
bandwidth via
the RDP or ICA protocol to the client machine, which decompresses the data and
sends it on to the local printer. ?The .print Host Integration Service resolves
a serious, long recognized printing problem in server based architectures,?
states Carsten Mickeleit, Managing Director at ThinPrint.
The .print Host Integration Service is planned to be available for the CeBIT
2005 (hall 3, stand C 31). A beta version is available for download at
http://www.thinprint.com/free-demo.htm.
