10 PrintraNet Internet Printing Configuration TROY's PrintraNet product is a software driver for Windows that allows a PC user at one location to send a print job to a printer connected to an EtherWind wireless print server at a remote location across the Internet in a simple and transparent manner. For example, a user on a PC in New York could print a document directly from his Microsoft Excel application program to a printer in Chicago. The PC may be attached to a Local Area Network, or it may be connected via a dial-up PPP link to an Internet Service Provider. Because of the low cost of accessing the Internet, the PrintraNet software can save the user a significant amount of money in toll charges, particularly when international communications is involved. A new PrintraNet feature allows a user at a remote site to send a text E-mail message directly to a printer connected to a TROY print server at a remote site. The E-mail will be automatically printed on the printer without the need to run an Email program at the remote site. There are two parts to the PrintraNet configuration, the configuration of the local Windows PC and the configuration of the remote EtherWind print server. Installing the Software on a Windows PC at the Local Site You may configure the local Windows PC to communicate over a LAN using the MAPI or WINSOCK protocol, or to communicate over a dial-up PPP connection to an Internet Service Provider. To install the PrintraNet software on a Windows PC, execute the following steps: 1.
