Print driver? What print driver? With Simplify Printing (Screwdrivers),
none of the MF servers need ANY print drivers .. No, not one ... to be
able to print via redirection back to the client. That's the whole
point.

While redirecting to a gateway server can be an advantage in some
environments, the reason you give doesn't really illustrate what those
are.
