Alternatives to Thinprint

[Fredly]

Is there other software out there that will assist in tough remote desktop
printing situations? Thinprint .print rdp engine xp will do the trick it
looks like but I really don't want to buy from those guys. No telephone #,
glitchy web site, can't find pricing...

Thanks in advance.

Provision Networks Print-IT, triCerat Simplify Printing, Uniprint, or Citrix
Presentation Server 4.0.

Thank you for the reply!

Most of these seem like TS or Citrix based. Will they work for Remote
Desktop on a single PC? Is there reasonable pricing for these one shot
install?

No, these are all Terminal Server (with or w/o Citrix) solutions, as is the
..Print RDP Engine. These would be too costly to be used for a single PC, as
they usually run $999 - $1700 per server.

For an XP Pro Remte Desktop Host I'd recommend installing a PDF Printer and
transferring the file to the client's redirected hard drive, if the client's
printer is not natively supported. You can find a lot of free and
inexpensive PDF Printers here:

I use CutePDF on most home computers, which is free but not as feature rich
as ones you can get for $29.

What about .print RDP Engine XP?

It's around $100

I was not aware that they made a version for client OS. Who have you talked
to about ThinPrint? Have you talked to an authorized reseller or integrator,
or someone at ThinPrint?
