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.

Installing Printer Software and Configuring on a Network

If you’re setting up your printer for Windows NT 4.0, see the next section. If you’re connecting to a Windows 95 network, see page B-8. For other network operating systems, see your network documentation for instructions.

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.
