PrintraNet Remote Internet Printing
Overview
TROY XCD's PrintraNet product is a software driver for
Windows
TM
95, Windows 98, or Windows NT that allows a
PC user at one location to send a print job to a printer con-
nected to an TROY XCD 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 access-
ing the Internet, the PrintraNet software can save the user a
significant amount of money in toll charges, particularly
when international communications is involved.
If you did not receive the PrintraNet software on diskette or
CD-ROM, you may download it from the TROY XCD web site
(http://www.troyxcd.com).
