We use Simplified Printing (new name for Screwdrivers) and like it alot.
There is one quirk we've found and that is the user has to either do the
client side install, or you need to provide them with a reg merge or
something.  It creates an entry in HKU\<user sid>.     Other than that,
works great.  One example where it really shines is when our Building
Inspectors and Code Compliance officers print PDF files (inspection
reports) to these little bitty Canon inkjets using a CDMA wireless
connection.  With a regular driver, it can take anywhere from 12 to 20
minutes per page.  With Simplified Printing, it rarely takes longer than 3
minutes per page.

I’m researching third party printing apps for a new Citrix MF XPe 1.0/W2K3
farm.  Clients will be connecting to the Citrix farm via dual T-1’s at the
main corporate office from various WAN sources (T-1, frame, DSL, cable
modem).  None of the corporate branch offices have print servers (yet) and
we have a growing third party user base of 200 that prints heavily from a
specific published app to their local printers.  I’m trying to identify a
print driver solution that resides mainly on the Citrix farm and requires
little to no application installation on the client side.  Stability,
performance and administrative ease are essential.

So far I’ve looked at EML and UPD offerings from triCerat Screwdrivers,
Thin Print v5.5, EOL and Qnetrix.  Which product would you recommend?

Thanks,
