Installing Printers on Workstations

A printer must be on a user workstation before a user can print to it. Follow the steps below to install EPSON printers on a user workstation with the Novell Printer Manager utility.

Since the EpsonNet NDPS Gateway obtains the printer model from the printer, users can install printer drivers without specifying them for the printer.

NOTE:

The utilities which come with a printer driver will not be installed. If you want to use them, install the printer manually. We recommend you install these utilities in the network administrator's workstation when using printers on the network. You can install EPSON printers automatically if the printer is shown as "Supported" in Table 1 in "Installing Printers on Workstations". Do not install "Not Supported" printers using the Resource Management Service of the Broker. An error will occur when registering the printer in the Resource Management Service or when installing the printer on the workstation. The necessary printer drivers must be uploaded to the Resource Management Service of the Broker before going through the steps below. See "Uploading Printer Drivers to the RMS" if you have not uploaded the necessary printer drivers yet.

1. Run the Novell Printer Manager from Windows.
   
   If you are running Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT, execute:
   \PUBLIC\WIN32\NWPMW32.EXE
   
   
2. In the Novell Printer Manager dialog, select New from the Printer menu.
   
   The Novell Printers dialog appears, displaying a list of installed printers (if any printers were previously installed on the workstation).
   
   
3. Click Add.
   
   A list of available printers appears.
   
   
4. Select the printer you want and click Install.
   
   The Novell Printers---Install dialog appears. You may modify the printer name that appears and select a pre-defined configuration.
   
   
5. Click OK.
   
   The printer driver for that printer model is installed automatically from the Resource Management Service. The Novell Printers dialog appears with the new printer appearing in the installed list.
   
   
6. Click Close.
   
   The printer appears in the main Printer Manager window and is available for print jobs.
   

NOTE:

For more information, see "Installing Printers on Workstations" in the NetWare 5 online documentation. After installing Stylus COLOR 3000 or Stylus COLOR 1520, you need to change the EPSON Spooler settings. Run EPSON Spool Manager in the EPSON folder or EPSMGR4.EXE located in \Windows\System directory. On the EPSON Spool Manager's Queue and Setup dialog box, select Spool to local printer and then check the Use Print Manager for this port box. When you install NDPS printers on Windows NT 4.0 workstations, the EPSON folder cannot be created in the Program menu.
