Sharing the printer
This section describes how to share the printer on a standard Windows network.
The computers on a network can share a printer that is directly connected to one of them. The computer that is directly
connected to the printer is the printer server, and the other computers are the clients which need permission to share the
printer with the printer server. The clients share the printer via the printer server.
According to the versions of Windows OS and your access rights on the network, perform the appropriate settings of the
printer server and clients.
See Setting Up Your Printer on a Network.
See Setting for the clients.
Note:
When sharing the printer, be sure to set EPSON Status Monitor 3 so that the shared printer can be
monitored on the printer server and clients. See Setting up EPSON Status Monitor 3.
When connecting to a Windows XP shared printer, error and warning notifications do not appear during
printing. Installing Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later will solve this problem.
When connecting to a shared printer beyond a router, error and warning notification for shared printers
during printing is not available in some cases because of the router’s settings.
The printer server and clients should be set on the same network system, and they should be under
the same network management beforehand.
The on-screen displays on the following pages may differ depending on the version of Windows OS.
