Using Remote Desktop with Windows XP
Remote Desktop, included with Windows XP professional, enables any user to access their applications and files running on their PC from inside and outside the office. The PC which runs the applications is known as the host PC.

Remote Desktop Printing
Once users access their applications and data remotely, the next luxury they expect is remote desktop printing. Windows can provide the capability to do some basic printing, unfortunately, this hasn’t met the needs of most.

Installing Print Drivers
Installing print drivers from your remote computing device onto the host Windows XP machine can be challenging. This is especially true when you consider all of the possible printers available, all of the possible remote computing devices, and also what privileges the user has on the host system.

The Solution
Designed specifically for this scenario, triCerat created ScrewDrivers™ for
Windows XP Remote Desktop. After a simple installation, ScrewDrivers™ will
automatically learn all of the printers and printer settings from the remote printer
and instantly make that printer available to the user.

Screwdrivers™ for XP Remote Desktop is a solution for those using Microsoft
Remote Desktop to log into to a remote XP workstation, and would like to print
to a local printer. There is a ScrewDrivers™ client to install on the local client
machine, and a ScrewDrivers™ Server that it installed on the XP Workstation
being logged in to. When the user logs in to the XP Workstation, ScrewDrivers™
will query each local print driver on the client machine. ScrewDrivers™ then
creates virtual printers on the XP workstation that the user has setup.

When a user goes to print to one of the ScrewDrivers™ printers, the print job is spooled on the XP workstation, compressed and converted to our ScrewDrivers™ format, then sent to the client machine through a virtual channel.

When the print job reaches the client, ScrewDrivers™ will decompress it and
print it out as a local print job.
This solution is especially useful for environments that allow users to login to their office workstations from home or in a virtual desktop environment, as it allows the user to print locally no matter where they are.
