The new ThinPrint LPD Service ensures high availability printing, including load balancing from ERP, EMR and CRM systems, providing an important tool for preventing business-critical outages.
ThinPrint’s own feature-enhanced LPD service bridges the ERP/EMR solutions and the printers, as ThinPrint combines its high availability technology with a network load balancer. The network load balancer is used by the backend system instead of the physical node (print server) to address the printer queues, and ThinPrint’s own LPD service then takes on these print jobs. The server, spooler, and all dependent services are continuously monitored for their operability. If an error occurs, print jobs are processed by another functioning service. The ThinPrint Client can also be designed for high availability to avoid a single point of failure.
“For companies that use ERP, EMR or CRM systems, fail-safe printing systems are vital. We are therefore even more pleased that we can now offer these customers a highly available, elegant and powerful solution with the ThinPrint LPD Service,” said Charlotte Künzell, CEO of ThinPrint GmbH. “The ThinPrint LPD Service was a missing piece of the enterprise printing puzzle and is a feature-rich addition to our ThinPrint universe.”
