That is the main problem with Tricerat. The support Win32 only and most
ThinClients now are either Linux or CE, both unsupported platforms.
As a reseller for both Tricerat and ThinPrint I think both have their
own PROs and CONs. But if your environment is not pure Win32, Tricerat
is not the way to go for sure.

Levi,
Thanks for the update on Simplify Printing. This is a great set of
updates
in the product. The situation that we were discussing was still a bit
different in that a gateway of some sort is necessary if the client
device
is unable to process a local print driver or the Simplify software, i.e.
many types of thin clients devices or non-windows computers.
Regards,

I know this is a bit late of a reply, however, I would like to clear up
a
couple things.
In regard to the statement below, Steve is describing two different
versions
of the product. The "universal" version was one way of describing our
original release of the ScrewDrivers product. That version is now
considered legacy code. Now, the latest version of the Simplify
Printing
v2(formerly called ScrewDrivers Fxp) is the product that uses a query
functionality to pull information from the local-side drivers on the
win32
client and emulate those characteristics into the user's/admin's session
as
available printers. Because of this functionality, drivers are not
required
on the server-side.
As a point of reference, Simplify Printing does not care about
redirection(LPT1, USB, network, etc.). As long as there is a client
machine
to place out client component onto, you will be able to print fine
without
worrying where the job has to be sent physically. We have many
customers
printing to larger copier and multi-function devices.

By the way, there are actually two print drivers when using
ScrewDrivers-
the "universal" one on the server and the "real" print driver on the
WIN32
client...

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.
