Installing Printers on Workstations

Installing Printers Manually

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 manually. These steps are mostly for "Not Supported" printers listed in Table 1 in "Installing Printers on Workstations."

NOTE:
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.

Windows 95 / 98 / NT4.0
  1. Install the EPSON printer driver from the floppy disks or CD-ROM shipped with your printer. The port is LPT1. See the printer manual shipped with your printer for detailed information on installing the printer driver.

  2. In the printer's Properties dialog box, specify where to print as follows:

Windows 3.1 / 3.11
NOTE:
  • Only controlled access printers can be used under Windows 3.1/3.11. If your printers are public access printers, convert public access printers to controlled access printers first. Then, follow the procedures below.
  • You cannot use the Novell Printer Manager functions such as viewing the printer status and setting Event Notifications.
  1. Create a queue to print from Windows 3.1/3.11.

  2. In NetWare Administrator, double-click the NDPS printer you want to work with. The Printer Details page appears.

  3. Click the Jobs button from the Printer Control view, and click Spooling configuration.

  4. Under Service Jobs from NetWare Queues, click the Add button. A browser window appears.

  5. Select the queue(s) you want this printer to service and click OK.

  6. Click OK again at the Spooling Configuration dialog.

  7. Capture the queue you have created to the LPT port.
