I just purchased 5 licenses of ScrewDrivers. I went with it over
Thinprint because I didn't need the extra support for non-Windows
clients that Thinprint offered. I was also told Thinprint is more
expensive, although I didn't actually price it. I seemed to find more
people using ScrewDrivers over anything else.
List price per server on ScrewDrivers is $1795, of which part of that
price includes the mandatory first year support at $299 per license.
There is discounts off list price for quanitity purchases.
Simplfy Printing is available only as a component of Simplify Suite.
Simplify Printing is built off and uses ScrewDrivers, but it adds a
management console. There is also an additional component that lets you
supported WinCE and Linux based thin clients, which are not supported by
ScrewDrivers. As described to me, ScrewDrivers is for fat windows
clients (altough it does support XP embedded as well), where as Simplify
Printing has much more thin client support. Simplify Printing also has
some server based piece to help manage those CE/Linux based thin
clients.
Those are the major differences a described to me between ScrewDrivers
and Simplify Printing.
PS - Post iForum, you are supposed be able to purchase Simplify Suite
components individually, instead of having to get the entire suite.

I did not leave them out on purpose...simply went with the 2 I knew a
little about. Now I see Tricerat bought out Doug B.'s Print Manager.
Thanks for the input, now how does that one compare to the others?
