Printing with EPSON Stylus RIP for Windows
Network Printing
By taking advantage of the EPSON Stylus RIPs ability to
automatically scan a directory for print jobs, you can use the
RIP to share your printer over a Windows peer to peer network.
All you need to do to print over the network is enable file
sharing for the RIPs print queue directory, and then send print
jobs to this directory via the network.
You can use this file sharing feature between Windows 95/98
and/or Windows NT computers within the same Workgroup,
provided that both file sharing and printer sharing are enabled
in your network setup. Each computer must have the Adobe
PostScript printer driver installed, but only the print server (the
computer to which the printer is directly connected) needs to
have the EPSON Stylus RIP software installed.
Users printing from applications running directly on the print
server do not need to do anything differently to print to the
shared printer. Users printing from applications running on
client computers need to direct their PostScript output to a file
on the shared folder on the print server.
Enabling File and Print Sharing
Follow these steps to enable sharing for the RIPs print queue
directory:
1. Enable Windows File and Printer Sharing via the Network
control panel on the print server. (See your Windows Help
file for instructions.)
