Connecting to the Printer on
Windows NT 4.0 Systems
If you installed an optional network interface card in your
printer and installed the printer software as described on
page B-4, follow the steps below to connect the remote printer
to each computer on the network using the TCP/IP (or LPR)
protocol. Be sure to first install the networking software that
came with your printer’s network interface card as described in
its documentation.
1. Follow the instructions to configure the interface card in
the manual that came with the card.
2. To connect the printer to a TCP/IP (or LPR) port, open
the Control Panel and select
Printers.
3. Right-click the
EPSON Stylus COLOR 850 icon, then
select Properties.
4. Select the
Ports tab and click the Add Port button.
5. Select
LPR Port in the Port list. Then click New Port.
6. Type the IP address of the card in the first box and type a
short name for the printer in the second box. Click
OK
,
then click
Close
.
7. You see the address and name of the printer in the Port list.
Click
OK
to exit printer properties.
Now you can print to the remote printer. Repeat these steps for
each system on the network that needs to access the printer.
Note:
If you connected the
printer directly to a
Windows NT server or
you’re using a different
network protocol, see
your Windows NT
documentation for
instructions on
configuring your printer
for the network.
