Sharing the Printer on a Network
Sharing the printer
This section describes how to share the printer on a standard
Windows network.
The computers on a network can share a printer that is directly
connected to one of them. The computer that is directly connected
to the printer is the print server, and the other computers are the
clients which need permission to share the printer with the print
server. The clients share the printer via the print server.
According to the versions of Windows OS and your access rights
on the network, perform the appropriate settings of the print
server and clients.
Setting the print server
❏ For Windows Me or 98, see "Setting up your printer as a
shared printer" on page 111.
❏ For Windows XP, 2000, or Server 2003, see "Using an
additional driver" on page 112.
Setting the clients
❏ For Windows Me or 98, see "With Windows Me or 98" on page
119.
❏ For Windows XP or 2000, see "With Windows XP or 2000" on
page 120.
Note:
❏ When sharing the printer, be sure to set EPSON Status Monitor so
that the shared printer can be monitored on the print server. See
"Notice Settings" on page 99.
