Setting Up Your 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 printer server, and the other computers are
the clients, which need permission to share the printer with the
printer server. The clients share the printer via the printer server.

Perform the appropriate settings for the printer server and clients
according to the version of the Windows operating system that
you are using and your access rights to the network.

Setting the printer server

❏ For Windows Me, 98, or 95, see “Setting up your printer as a

shared printer” on page 187.

❏ For Windows XP, 2000, or NT 4.0, see “Using an additional

driver” on page 189.

Setting the clients

❏ For Windows Me, 98, or 95, see “With Windows Me, 98, or

95” on page 195.

❏ For Windows XP or 2000, see “With Windows XP or 2000” on

page 197.

❏ For Windows NT 4.0, see “With Windows NT 4.0” on page

200.

Note:
When sharing the printer, be sure to set EPSON Status Monitor 3

so that the shared printer can be monitored on the printer server.
See “Setting Monitoring Preferences” on page 79.
