ThinPrint announces RDP Engine 7.6, with enhanced printing functions, Windows Server 2008 support

Johannesburg, 07 Apr 2009

IT Wise, the sub-Saharan distributor for Thin Print, today announced the latter's newest version of the .print RDP Engine, .print RDP Engine 7.6, for use with Microsoft Terminal Services. The new product version has also been optimised for use with Windows Server 2008 and now automatically connects the user's computer to all available printers.

The .print RDP Engine was specifically developed for optimising Microsoft Terminal Services, and since its release in 2005 has established itself as the worldwide leader in printing solutions for Microsoft's RDP protocol.

Features such as plug-and-play installation, compression of print data volume by up to 98% and ThinPrint's Driver Free Printing technology, which eliminates the need to install printer drivers on the server, have driven the market success of the .print RDP Engine.

With the new .print RDP Engine 7.6, all product features have been optimised for use with Windows Server 2008, including enhanced printer mapping. Prior to the .print RDP 7.6 release, only local default printers could be mapped in the user's session. With the 7.6 version of the .print RDP Engine, the automatic connection to all available printers is now possible.

“Our new version is great news for any company whose users wish to use more than one printer in the terminal session,” highlights Charlotte K"unzell, Senior Vice-President at ThinPrint. “Using Terminal Services with Windows Server 2008 also requires professional print management, which can be optimised with the new version of the .print RDP Engine at a bargain price.”

This exclusive solution is available as a 32- or 64- version.
