Seamless Printing for VDI and DaaS with ThinPrint & 10ZiG

First published on December 17, 2025 on thinprint.com. The partnership between 10ZiG and ThinPrint delivers a modern, cloud-ready printing experience designed for virtual desktops

• ThinPrint enables secure, proximity-based printing and centralized print management for VDI and DaaS, ensuring users only see and access the printers they are authorized to use. 
• 10ZiG provides secure, purpose-built endpoints that integrate seamlessly with cloud desktops, ensuring consistent performance and a locked-down endpoint experience.

ThinPrint Engine Integrated with 10ZiG Thin Clients

Printing in virtual desktop environments has long been one of the most persistent challenges for IT teams. While end users expect printing to ‘just work,’ the reality in many VDI and terminal server environments is far more complex. Driver conflicts, unreliable printer mapping, and excessive administrative overhead often turn printing into a support burden.

With the ThinPrint Engine client now fully integrated into the 10ZiG RepurpOS™ and PeakOS™ operating systems, printing is significantly simplified. On 10ZiG Thin Clients, printing is ready to work out of the box – no additional configuration, no extra software, and no ongoing administrative effort.

The ThinPrint & 10ZiG Challenge: Printing in Thin Client and Terminal Server Environments 

Organizations running Citrix, Omnissa Horizon, or Microsoft RDS on-premises consistently face printing challenges such as:

• Driver management complexity: Maintaining printer drivers on servers increases risk and support costs.
• Manual thin client configuration: Traditional Linux-based printing often requires CUPS configuration, queue management, and troubleshooting.
• Unreliable printer mapping: Locally attached printers fail to appear or disconnect during sessions.
• High support overhead: IT teams spend valuable time resolving printing issues instead of focusing on strategic initiatives.

The Solution: ThinPrint Engine Client Integrated into 10ZiG

With the ThinPrint Engine client natively integrated into 10ZiG RepurpOS and PeakOS, printing on 10ZiG Thin Clients is dramatically simplified.

Local USB printers are immediately available and ready to print – without the need for:

• Printer driver management
• CUPS installation or configuration
• Manual queue setup
• Additional client-side software installations

There are no administrative tasks required on the thin client to enable printing. Once connected, printers simply work. This ‘zero-touch’ printing approach eliminates complexity and delivers a true plug-and-play experience for both users and IT teams.

Key Features of the ThinPrint Engine on 10ZiG 

The ThinPrint Engine integration is purpose-built and optimized for on-premises terminal server deployments and environments, including:

• Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops
• Omnissa Horizon (on-premises)
• Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS)

By aligning directly with these platforms, ThinPrint delivers secure, driverless printing that works seamlessly within shared and published desktop sessions – without relying on traditional print servers.

The ThinPrint Engine delivers enterprise-grade printing capabilities directly through the 10ZiG operating system:

• Driverless printing architecture: No printer drivers required on the server or thin client.

• Out-of-the-box local printer support: Locally attached USB printers are automatically available – no configuration required.

• Automatic printer mapping (ThinPrint AutoConnect): Network and local printers are mapped dynamically at session start.

• Eliminate expensive print servers: ThinPrint Client embedded in 10ZiG OS eliminates the need for print servers, reducing admin overhead, costs, and carbon footprint.

• Optimized print data compression: Reduced bandwidth usage and faster print job delivery.

• Universal printer compatibility: Supports a wide range of printer models without vendor-specific drivers.

• Secure, digitally signed components: Trusted deployment using GlobalSign R45 certificates.
