Deployment:
Simplify Printing TX Infrastructure
The dotted lines in the figure represent the available print paths for a Simplify Printing TX installation, where a print path consists of two components: the device that hosts the print queue or discovers the printer and the printing application. The “central spoke” of the Simplify Printing TX application is the Simplify Printing TX (SPTX) Server. It is the server on which the Simplify Printing TX Server services run. It is also the server on which the Simplify Printing TX Central Store (database), the Simplify Printing TX License Server, and the Simplify Printing TX Admin Console are installed. The Simplify Printing TX infrastructure ensures both 32-bit and 64-bit compatibility. A Google Cloud Print option eliminates the need for Printer Server printer management.
