STEP 6: Naming Your Printer Driver and Deciding to Share It with Others

Once you’ve successfully added your printer driver and it’s showing up within the Printer List

window, you may want to rename it to better identify it later.

To rename your printer driver, simply select the printer device within the Printer List window and

hit command-I or select ‘Show Info’ from the ‘Printers’ pull down menu.

Type in the name you want and click the ‘Apply Changes’ button, then close the window.

Next, if you wish to share this printer with other Mac OS X users on the same network, you must

turn-on ‘Printer Sharing’ within the ‘Sharing’ ‘System Preferences’ dialog.

By turning-on this feature, your Macintosh will be telling the network that you have an Epson

printer to share with others. If another Mac OS X user has ‘Show printers connected to other com-

puters’ checked within their “Preferences...” menu within their Print Center Utility, your printer will

show up in their Printer List automatically.

Shared printers will be highlighted within the Printer List versus directly connected printer.

Congratulations, you’ve just added a printer driver to your Mac OS X system. Now any application

will be able to print to this device.
