configured the print server to receive print jobs. Skip to the Printing to
the Remote TROY Print Server section later in this manual.
Printing to the Remote TROY Print Server
To print to the remote TROY print server from the local Windows
95/98/NT/2000 PC, you simply select the printer that you created in Step 1
and print to it the normal manner. For example, to print the remote printer
named Email Printer, you would select
from the menu bar, choose the
printer named Email Printer, and then click
OK
.
At this point, the
Port Settings
dialog box will appear (you may disable
this by unchecking the “Show this dialog for each Print Job” box). You
may then use the Address Book capability or change other parameters.
Click
OK
when you are ready to print, and the job will then be sent over the
Internet to the remote TROY print server.
Troubleshooting
The first step in troubleshooting is to make sure that you have a valid E-
mail connection on both the sending PC and the receiving print server. Try
sending an E-mail message from the PC to a user at the remote site who can
receive mail via the POP3 server. If this does not work, there may be an E-
mail configuration problem on the PC, on the local E-mail server, or on the
remote POP3 server. Double check to make sure that the E-mail parameters
that you configured on the PC and on the remote print server match those
that are configured on the E-mail servers.
If you get an SMTP error when using a WINSOCK connection, you may
need to configure the hosts file on your Windows 95/98/NT/2000 system.
To do this create a file named
HOSTS
in the
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory (or edit this file if it already exists) and add an entry for your mail
server similar to the following using the DOS editor (substitute the actual IP
address and name of your SMTP mail server):
192.189.207.222
mail.troy.com
If you can print small files OK but are having trouble printing large files,
the problem may be in the E-mail system. Some E-Mail systems have
difficulties printing files that are larger than about 400KB in length. To
