About Simplify Driver Management Eliminate print servers for your workstation printing needs. Route traffic directly from workstations to printers, reducing network utilization.

Tricerat believes in empowering IT staff to produce more effective work in less time. With our simplified deployment, we help guide your strategy to produce a rapid ROI. •Direct IP printing for a desktop heavy environment - In environments that are either desktop heavy and/or have remote locations without print servers, Simplify Driver management is ideal. Direct IP printing is inexpensive, will reduce network bandwidth consumption, and reduce the amount of support staff needed. •Assign printers through active directory or IP range - Simplify Driver Management allows for printer assignment via AD or a specified IP range. This enables your team to quickly deploy with control, while maintaining a consistent experience for end users.
