Printing to the Remote TROY Print Server

To print to the remote EtherWind print server from the local Windows 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 Print 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
EtherWind print server.

Troubleshooting

The first step in troubleshooting is to make sure that you have a valid E-mail con-
nection 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 prob-
lem 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.
