For Windows Me/98/95, the printer driver installation procedure differs depending on the printing method you prefer.
LPR printing
Since Windows Me/98/95 does not support LPR, standard TCP/IP printing cannot be used. However, you can print via TCP/IP using the EpsonNet Direct Print utility included on the software CD-ROM. First, install EpsonNet Direct Print. Then, install the printer driver. See About EpsonNet Direct Print for more details.
