Setting up your printer

This section explains about printing with Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) in Windows 2000. First set the IPP URL of the printer with EpsonNet Win Assist or WebAssist. Then set up the printer with Add Printer Wizard.

Configuring for IPP using EpsonNet WinAssist

Turn on the printer.

Run EpsonNet WinAssist from the Start menu.

Select the printer you want to configure from the list, then click Configuration or double-click the printer.

Note:

If you have connected more than one printer to the network, you can distinguish between the printers by the MAC address on a status sheet.

If the IP address is set to the default IP address, the printer model may not appear.

You can search printers in other segments by setting the Search Options in the Tool menu in EpsonNet WinAssist. See online help for more information.

Click the IPP tab, and make the following settings.

IPP URL:
Displays the IPP URL of the printer.
http://the IP address of the printer:631/the printer name

Printer Name:
Enter the printer name to use with the IPP printing up to 127 characters.

Location:
Enter the name of the location where the printer is physically located up to 64 characters.

After making the settings, click OK. The Password dialog box appears.

Enter your password (up to 20 characters) and click OK to save settings. If you are entering a password for the first time, click Change and set the password. For more information about passwords, see About passwords.

Follow the on-screen instructions. After updating is complete, refresh the configuration by selecting Refresh from the View menu.

Caution:

Since it takes 2 or 3 minutes to send new settings to the Internal Print Server, you must wait until the on-screen message appears before turning off your printer.

Run EpsonNet WebAssist by either of the methods described below.

Run EpsonNet WinAssist. Click the printer you want to configure from the list and click Launch Browser.

Open your browser, and type in the IP address of the Internal Print Server directly. Do not run EpsonNet WinAssist.
