This article explains how to set up Epson printers when Mac OS 9's Multiple Users feature is turned on.

In order for users to print to Epson printers when the multiple users feature of Mac OS 9 is turned on, the user "Owner" must allow access to "All Printers" for other users. A user in the Limited or Panels environment should set up the Epson printer driver to use a spool folder located in the user's folder, or another location where the user can create files, such as the User's Documents folder.

To do this follow these steps:

1. Log in as a Limited or Panels User.

2. Choose Print Desktop from the Finder's File menu. If logging in as a Panels User, open an Application that the Panels User may print from (such as Appleworks 6), and select Print from the Application's File menu.

3. Click Utility (the button that has tools as an icon).

4. Click Configuration.

5. For both the Temporary Spool and Temporary High Speed Copies folder locations, click Select and navigate to the following: Macintosh HD > Users > [user's name] folder > Documents folder

6. Click Select Documents.

7. Click OK.

8. Click OK.

9. Click Cancel.
