Uninstalling EpsonNet Direct Print
Because Windows 98 and Windows 95 do not support LPR printing, standard TCP/IP printing cannot be done with Windows 98/95. However, TCP/IP (LPR) printing is possible via the EpsonNet Direct Print utility.
Configuring for TCP/IP using EpsonNet WinAssist
To use TCP/IP on the network, you need to set the IP address for the Internal Print Server.
See Setting the IP Address Using EpsonNet WinAssist/MacAssist to configure the Internal Print Server for TCP/IP.
 |
Note:
|
 |
Make sure you have installed TCP/IP in your operating system. For information on installing TCP/IP, see your operating system documentation.
