Create and Edit T27 Print Services Environments

Each T27 print environment represents one host connection and specifies how printing from that host is handled. Print environments are saved to a configuration file. Each configuration file can contain up to eight environments.

The configuration settings for each print environment can be modified using either T27 Print Services or the T27 Print Services Configuration utility. Note the following differences:

  • With T27 Print Services, you can modify only the configuration file that loads automatically. With the T27 Print Services Configuration utility, you can modify any configuration file, as well create and delete configuration files.

  • With T27 Print Services, you can modify only the listed print environments. With the T27 Print Services Configuration utility, you can create, copy, modify, and delete print environments.
