Tricerat ScrewDrivers review
A strong fit for virtual desktops that need centralized, cross-platform print control.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tricerat ScrewDrivers is print and scan management software for organizations running virtual desktops, remote sessions, traditional workstations, and mobile devices. Its central function is universal printer-driver virtualization, reducing dependence on individual printer drivers across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android environments. It also centralizes printer assignments, profiles, policies, and administration, with support for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, Microsoft RDS, Azure Virtual Desktop, Omnissa/VMware Horizon, IGEL, and Zebra printers. Organizations choosing it should have a clear need to manage printing across virtual and mixed environments rather than only a small local printer fleet.
The plan structure maps to increasing administrative and workflow requirements. Essentials includes printer and scanner driver virtualization, cross-platform support, TMF page description language, and a 12-month support contract. Pro adds drag-and-drop administration, print-server and server-free printing, a self-service manager, a printer map manager, and advanced print features. Enterprise adds mobile printing, a cloud printing connector, additional client operating-system support, professional services, system printing, and hold-and-release printing. Pricing uses annual, seat-based subscriptions and requires a sales quote, so buyers should compare the required tier and seat scope directly with Tricerat.
ScrewDrivers is particularly suited to hybrid deployments that need both centralized control and flexible routing through print servers, direct IP, cloud, or mobile workflows. Reporting and audit trails support administrative oversight, while print quotas and policy rules address governance needs. Enterprise hold-and-release workflows can require badge authentication, with Secure Release documented as a beta feature beginning in version 7.10. Choose ScrewDrivers for virtual-desktop integration, driver abstraction, and cross-platform administration. Organizations seeking a wider standalone print-management suite may prefer an alternative if their priorities extend beyond these virtualized, hybrid, and mobile printing scenarios.
