steadyPRINT version 6.5.2 is a printer management software for virtual desktops.
DABCC reported that the new version offers “an optimised and accelerated provision of BranchOffice printers via WAN connection”, and “thus considerably reduces the network load”, with steadyPRINT having made improvements to existing programmes. The software has been created for the management of “printer connections, the monitoring of printing environments as well as the reliability of print servers”.
The software will work “no matter which virtual network” is used, including workstations, Thin Clients or Citrix, Remote Desktop, VMware, and VDI terminal server environments, and neither additional hardware, nor licenses are required. The administrator is able to use the steadyPRINT Agent to “suppress the driver installation, enabling existing drivers to be used”.
The drivers do not necessarily “have to be loaded from the print server, which reduces the load of WAN connections of large printer drivers”, and in addition the “installation of BranchOffice printers was accelerated in order to guarantee a faster provision at the end user”. SteadyPRINT is also said to have fixed timeout problems and demo-watermark problems.
