Banyan VINES Network
Configuration
Overview
TROY XCD print servers that include the Banyan VINES IP
protocol (refer to chapter 1 for specific protocol support
information) allow printers to be shared on a Banyan VINES
network. Users on client PCs send their jobs to any VINES file
server running the Banyan PCPrint software, which in turn
spools the jobs to the TROY XCD print server and the printer.
Printing is transparent to user applications, and the print server
can be managed using standard VINES utilities like
MANAGE, MSERVICE, MUSER, and the Operator Console
printer control. In addition, VINES users can print
concurrently with users of NetWare, TCP/IP, and AppleTalk.
In order to use a TROY XCD print server on a VINES
network, you will need the following:
• Banyan's PCPrint software (a Banyan-supplied software
option that is installed on the VINES file server)
• Optional Banyan firmware on the TROY XCD external
print server
• TROY XCD XAdmin 16-bit utility software (on TROY
XCD Print Server Software diskette or CD-ROM) or
access to print server console via serial port, or through
TELNET, DEC NCP or NCL, or TROY XCD XCONFIG
