ThinPrint solves the x64-bit printer driver problem under Windows 2003
New version of .print Engine enables printing under x64 Windows with every
32-bit printer driver
(Berlin, June 2005)
ThinPrint, the software manufacturer specialized in print management, announced
a 64-bit version of their software solution, with which businesses can continue
to use 32-bit printer drivers and therefore 64-bit incompatible printer models.
Although migration to the new x64 version of Microsoft Windows 2003 still lets
companies run 32-bit applications, it created a new headache for the IT
department. 64-bit Windows no longer allows the use of 32-bit printer drivers
? a serious restraint on using the new Windows technology, because for many
printer models there are no 64-bit original printer drivers available, and they
are not likely to be developed for older printers.
For many businesses, then, the question is whether the migration to x64-bit is
worth the necessary additional investment in 64-bit compatible printers or
whether it is preferable to stay with the lower performance of the 32-bit
version. This situation is especially precarious in server based computing,
one of the anticipated main deployment areas for the 64-bit version. Although
companies expect the new Windows technology to enable the addition of up to
70% more users per server, the problematic printer management already familiar
from 32-bit Windows will be made even more acute in the 64-bit version by the
lacking drivers.
The newly announced 64-bit version of the .print Engine print solution from
ThinPrint promises help. Thanks to the patent pending DRIVER FREE PRINTING
technology, which separates the server-side print process from the client-side
printer driver, the .print Engine 64-bit enables print jobs to be sent to any
32-bit printer driver.
