Selecting a Printing Method

Printing from Windows

Check if there is a Windows XP/Server 2003/2000 print server on your network, and then use the suggestions below.

Note:

Only the recommended printing methods are introduced here. See “Features of the Printing Methods” for information on additional methods.

If no Windows XP/Server 2003/2000 print server exists

Use a printing method appropriate to your operating system:

❏For Windows Me/98

We recommend TCP/IP printing via EpsonNet Print. See “About EpsonNet Print”.

❏For Windows XP/Server 2003/2000

We recommend TCP/IP printing via LPR. See “Windows XP”, “Windows Server 2003”, or “Windows 2000”.

If a Windows XP/Server 2003/2000 print server exists

On the server, set the printer to connect with LPR and turn it into a shared printer. Your clients can then print to this shared printer.
