RE: Shared Epson Printer Wont Print
 

Brett

I have the same printer, although I do not have it networked. I recall
reading somewhere this tip reguarding networking this printer. If you have
not done so already, try this:
Right click on your Epson Stylus Series printer icon in the task bar (down
near the clock)
Then choose monitoring preferences
If the box that says "allow monitoring of shared printers" is not checked
try checking it and click ok.

You might have to do this on just the comptuer the printer is actually
connected or just the other or maybe even both. I don't remember if what I
read went in to much detail. Good Luck and please post your results so
others may learn from them.
