applications, and you may need to increase the values if you
are unable to print). For example, if your queue is called
myqueue and you wish to use LPT1 with a timeout of 5
seconds, you would enter:

capture l=1 q=myqueue ti=5

After the workstation is restarted, you will be able to print
from applications programs as if the printer were directly
connected to the LPT1 parallel port.

Testing the Print Queue

Test the queue by printing a small job from an application
program like the Windows 95 Paint Accessory program
(make sure that the program is set up to print to the correct
print queue if the TROY XCD print server is not assigned to
service the default queue). The file will be spooled to the
TROY XCD print server for printing and should print on the
printer within a short period of time. If it does not, double
check your configuration, and if necessary, refer to the
Troubleshooting chapter of this manual for additional
information.

Changing the Print Server Configuration
(Optional)

The TROY XCD print server default parameters can be
changed via the XCONFIG utility to meet a wide variety of
user needs. The procedure for doing this is described in
detail in Appendix A of this manual.
