Windows NT/LAN Server/Warp Server Network Configuration
Overview
Users of Windows NT V3.5 or later (including Windows NT Advanced Server) can print directly using the TCP/IP protocol to printers that are equipped with a TROY XCD print server. No special software is required on the Windows NT system, and the printing operates transparently with any application program.
TROY XCD print servers also support transparent printing from IBM LAN Server and Warp Server file server, as well as from OS/2 Warp Connect workstations, using the TCP/IP protocol. TCP/IP is included standard with Warp Server and with LAN Server V4.0, and is optional on LAN Server V3.x systems. It is also included standard with OS/2 Warp Connect, and is optional on earlier versions of OS/2.
In addition, client PCs connected to a Windows NT Advanced Server or to an IBM LAN Server file server can print transparently to the TROY XCD print server. In this case, the client PCs typically use the NetBEUI protocol to print jobs to the file server, which in turn spools the job to the TROY XCD print server via TCP/IP. The advantage of TCP/IP compared to other approaches is that it is a
Important: TROY XCD recommends TCP/IP for Windows NT and OS/2 printing because it is routable and provides
