Print2XP

Simplifying XP Professional RDP printing. Just install the Print2XP Server component on the machine you are logging into, and the Print2XP Client component on the machine you are Remoting from and select the printers you want to map, the next Remote Desktop session you initiate your printers will appear on the remote computer.
Windows XP Pro users can take advantage of Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol and Remotely log into their machines from other Windows XP Pro computers or Windows XP machines with the Remote Desktop program installed. This is outstanding for the occasional telecommuter who needs to access their desktop at the office or remotely accessing the home PC.
However the Windows Remote Desktop Protocol doesn't work with many of the consumer printers on the market and some virtual printer drivers. Print2XP makes mapping these drivers easy.
How does it work?
Print2XP automatically creates a virtual printer driver for each client printer to be mapped on the remote PC. The virtual printer drivers appear as available printers and will be easily identifiable to the printing user.
RDP users can print to the virtual printer drivers as they would print to any printer from any Windows application. Print2XP will then compact and transmit the data to the client's local printer for printing. The data transmitted by Print2XP is typically much smaller than the actual file being printed and will still have the same print quality and color as the original document.
Any number of printers can be automatically connected to each terminal server client session. This can optionally be restricted by the system administrator to be only the default client printer or a maximum number of client printers.
Print2XP Features:
1. Full access to Client Printer Options
Print2XP allows the User to have full access to his local printer driver settings via the Print2XP Client. By turning on Printing Preferences in the client, the user's local printer driver dialog will appear just prior to the print job being sent to the printer, allowing the user to change options such as printer trays and other printer options.
2. Fast printing
Print2XP is based on the industry leading Black Ice printer drivers and the elapsed time from pressing print from the remote client to the time the print job is delivered to the client printer is faster than any other product on the market.
3. Configuration Free, Install and forget
Print2XP automatically configures itself to match the target printer settings, including color settings, resolution, orientation, etc. Neither users nor system administrators need to worry about configuring a thing. Print2XP is compatible with any available printer, including network printers, USB, multi function units, fax printers, and more.
4. Automatic Bandwidth Optimization
Print2XP automatically minimizes the amount of data sent between the server and client to keep bandwidth requirements to a minimum.
