Challenges ScrewDrivers is Solving for Enterprises

The demands of enterprise printing have changed. The rise of hybrid work, virtual desktop environments, compliance mandates, and zero-trust  security architectures have made legacy print solutions inefficient, vulnerable, and difficult to scale.

  • Multi-Site IT Environments Require Distributed Admin – Global enterprises, hospital networks, and MSPs rely on multi-tiered IT teams managing highly distributed infrastructures. Rigid print management models create admin bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and compliance risks.
  • Security & Compliance Risks are EscalatingData sovereignty regulations demand strict role-based access control (RBAC), print job encryption, and audit logging. Without fine-grained control, teams risk privilege creep, unauthorized access, and other vulnerabilities.
  • ARM-Based Devices as Enterprise Standard – Driven by the need for lower power consumption, extended battery life, and virtualization efficiencies, enterprises are increasingly adopting ARM-based endpoints such as Windows laptops, thin clients, and cloud workspaces. 
ScrewDrivers 7.8 addresses these challenges with a future-proof, policy-driven print management solution for hybrid, multi OEM infrastructures, enhanced security, and granular workflow control.
 

What’s New in ScrewDrivers 7.8.0? Full Feature Breakdown

🔑 Granular Administrator Permissions – Role-Based Access Control for Enterprise IT

Organizations with segmented IT teams, MSPs, and industry-specific compliance mandates require delegated print admin with least-privilege access. Earlier ScrewDrivers versions offered a flexible five-tier permission structure, now enhanced for better control over access, print job routing, and admin.

With ScrewDrivers 7.8.0, we’ve introduced Granular Administrator Permissions, a scalable, policy-driven RBAC system that allows IT teams to precisely control admin access.

Granular Administrator Permissions
Tiered Delegation for Multi-Location Teams Assign print admin privileges based on business unit, remote site, department, or functional role while maintaining centralized oversight.
Zero-Trust Security Integration Aligns with zero-trust architectures by enforcing least-privilege principles and ensuring print administrators only access what’s essential for their role.
Enhanced Compliance Readiness Supports compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, CMMC, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 by preventing excessive admin access and ensuring audit-ready role assignments.
Optimized for Multi-Tenant and Multi-Cloud Ideal for enterprise IT teams, MSPs, and service providers who manage multi-cloud or hybrid environments with multiple customer or department-specific requirements.
 By modernizing the permissions model, ScrewDrivers 7.8 helps admins reduce IT overhead and security risks, while enabling monitoring for issues via our print reports and analytics console.

💻 ARM64 Support – Future-Proofed Printing for Modern Endpoint Architectures

As enterprises increasingly standardize on ARM-based devices, x86-dependent print clients are becoming a compatibility barrier. Many organizations adopting Windows on ARM, Raspberry Pi-based thin clients, and ARM-powered VDI solutions  have struggled with seamless print  integration.

ScrewDrivers 7.8.0 now includes ARM64 processor support for the ScrewDrivers Endpoint Client, providing native print management for ARM-powered endpoints.

ARM64 Processor Support
Seamless Enterprise-Scale Deployment Ensures native ARM64 compatibility for print environments across Windows 11 on ARM, Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), and Windows 365.
VDI & DaaS Ready Fully supports virtualized endpoints running on Citrix, VMware Horizon, Parallels, and Amazon WorkSpaces, ensuring high-performance, secure remote printing.
Sustainability & Cost Savings Supports low-power, ARM-based thin clients, reducing data power consumption and aligning with green initiatives.
Zero-Touch Endpoint Deployment Deploy the ScrewDrivers ARM64 client in enterprise MDM (Intune, Ivanti, VMware  Workspace  ONE) or group policy-managed environments without requiring complex workarounds.
Note: ARM64 support applies to the ScrewDrivers Endpoint Client only, not full desktop agent.

As virtualization strategies evolve and enterprises embrace heterogeneous architectures, ScrewDrivers 7.8 ensures future-ready, cross-platform printing—without compatibility headaches.
