ADDING A SHARED LX – 350,300+ PRINTER SHARED ON WINDOWS XP ON WINDOWS SEVEN

Windows seven comes preinstalled with Epson LX-300 + drivers but when adding a shared printer from windows XP it doesn’t always work, it searches on windows updates but never finds the drivers.

A simple solution for that:

·       1.    Add an LX 300 printer in devices and printers and use any local port available e.g. LPT1

·        2.   When the printer has installed successful right click the printer go to printer properties, click the port tab the add port

·     3.    Select a local port under port name provide the URL to the shared as the port name e.g. \\192.168.2.230\epson lx 300, the second part shows the shared printer name

·         4. The make sure that is the active port on the printer and it should be ready to print
