TROY print server AppleTalk capabilities allow a printer to appear as a
shareable printer node on an AppleTalk Phase 2 network. The TROY
print server broadcasts information to Macintoshes on the network, and
automatically appears in the Print Center or Chooser of each Macintosh.
Application programs (such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PageMaker, etc.)
can print without modification or special software on the Macintosh.
