Selecting a Printing Method

Printing from Windows
Printing from Macintosh

If necessary, use this section to help you select a printing method.

Printing from Windows

Check if there is a Windows XP/2000/NT 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/2000/NT print server exists

Use a printing method appropriate to your operating system:

• For Windows Me/98/95
  We recommend TCP/IP printing via EpsonNet Direct Print. See About EpsonNet Direct Print.

• For Windows XP/2000/NT
  We recommend TCP/IP printing via LPR. See Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0.

If a Windows XP/2000/NT 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.
