Re: [Digital BW] Wireless Printer Connection

2004-03-17 by Ellie Kennard

Hi

We run just that. We have two wireless routers and a switch and a wireless
print server working well with Windows XP. No, it does not automatically
get configured, but usually any good tech support people will walk you
through it. We do not, however, use the wireless print server for our
Epson 5500 as it would not support this connection (Epson's problem, not
Linksys'). I don't know if your printer would be supported by this either.
It's worth checking. Epson won't tell you and you might have to find out
by trial and error. Make sure you can return the wireless server if you
are getting one, in case it isn't supported. We have our Epson 7600's on
ethernet cards on the network and can print from our wireless computer.I
have not tried to send any large amounts of date across yet, but can't
imagine there would be any problems.

As to whether you will make stunning prints with your 2200 right out of
the box, so much depends on so many factors. Depends on your idea of
stunning, your experience, your ability to prepare the files.... what
system you're using for printing... all sorts of stuff...

Hope this helps,

Ellie
