10ZiG deepens ThinPrint integration for Linux thin clients

Source Domain: channellife.co.uk

10ZiG has expanded its partnership with ThinPrint, deepening ThinPrint integration in 10ZiG Linux OS for Terminal Server environments.

The updated integration centres on the ThinPrint Engine Client within 10ZiG’s Linux-based operating system portfolio for centralised desktop setups. It is aimed at organisations running Microsoft Remote Desktop Services, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, and Omnissa Horizon, as well as hybrid infrastructure.

Under the expanded partnership, 10ZiG’s Linux-based thin clients will support broader use of ThinPrint’s engine architecture and core platform. The goal is to let users print directly from those endpoints without local printer drivers, dedicated print servers, or manual driver management.

That is particularly relevant in Terminal Server environments, where printing often creates support issues for IT teams. Common problems include driver conflicts, printer mapping inconsistencies, and manual configuration.

Printing changes

ThinPrint’s Engine Client compresses and optimises print jobs at the endpoint before output. This reduces bandwidth use and removes dependence on local drivers and traditional print server infrastructure.

The setup is designed for server-based computing platforms where applications, desktop sessions, and virtual desktops are delivered centrally. In those environments, printing has remained a persistent operational task even as desktop delivery has shifted to more centralised and cloud-based models.

Tom Dodds outlined the rationale for the deeper tie-up.

“As organizations continue shifting toward modern desktop infrastructure and hybrid work models, printing must evolve to be just as seamless as the rest of the digital workspace,” said Tom Dodds, Global Strategic Alliances Manager, 10ZiG Technology.

“By expanding our partnership with ThinPrint and enhancing integration within 10ZiG Linux OS, we’re delivering a modern printing experience that removes complexity for IT teams while…
