TSPrint Server for Windows

Overview of the remote printing platform

TSPrint Server is a purpose-built tool for printing from remote desktops and terminal servers. It enables end users to send print jobs from a virtual desktop or terminal server directly to printers connected to their local machines, removing the need to install device-specific drivers on the server itself. The result is a smoother printing experience for remote sessions and fewer maintenance headaches for IT teams.

Primary capabilities

• Uses Microsoft Virtual Channel technology to maintain reliable operation over any RDP-compatible network.
• Compresses print streams to speed up job delivery and improve throughput on slower internet links.
• Eliminates the need for server-side printer drivers, reducing administrative work and lowering the risk of print spooler failures.

System design and platform support

The product follows a client–server model: a TSPrint Server component runs on the remote host (terminal server or VDI host) while the TSPrint Client is installed on each user’s endpoint. The client elements support multiple operating systems, allowing broad compatibility across heterogeneous environments.

How printing and file handling work

• Centralized controls let administrators manage printer availability and configuration from a single interface, simplifying policy enforcement.
• Users can open documents on their local devices and transfer files back and forth between the remote server and their workstation with ease.
• Print jobs are automatically redirected from the server to local printers so users see familiar printer names and options.
• The system creates virtual printers on the server that present themselves as regular printer choices within the remote session.

Administration and operational benefits

By removing server-side driver dependencies and compressing print data, TSPrint reduces common causes of print-related outages and improves performance for remote users. The combined client/server deployment provides administrators with a way to monitor and control printing resources centrally while preserving a native printing experience for users.

Suggested alternative — SHAREit (Free)

If you need a different solution focused on quick file transfers and basic device-to-device sharing, consider SHAREit (free). It’s widely used for fast transfers across platforms, though it does not provide the same integrated remote desktop printing features as TSPrint.
