Yea, I would think so to, especially considering the discount I got for 5 servers, and that was direct from triCerat .And then you might be able to get a few dollars more off direct from a reseller. Even still, with 80 servers, any of these products are going to get pricey. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joe Shonk Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 12:11 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: 3rd Party Print Utilities I'm sure you would get quite a price break off the MSRP if you buy 80 licenses. ;o) Joe ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Schneider, Chad M Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 8:50 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: 3rd Party Print Utilities $1800/Citrix server???

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. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Schneider, Chad M Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 11:19 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: 3rd Party Print Utilities 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? ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Kenzig http://ThinHelp.com Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 10:11 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: 3rd Party Print Utilities You forgot Print It by Provision Networks. http://www.provisionnetworks.com/solutions/print-it/print-it.aspx .
