have the EPSON Stylus RIP software installed.
You can print directly to the Stylus RIP printer from both the
server and client computers. You can also send print jobs to the
RIP’s shared print queue directory. If Stylus RIP is active, your
job prints immediately. Otherwise, the next time Stylus RIP is
launched, your print job will be printed.

on
the print server’s hard drive, but you can change it. See

queue directory location.
3.
Right-click the print queue folder icon and select
Sharing
