EpsonNet SetupManager2.2.3

Dedicated to network administrators, EpsonNet SetupManager gives them the possibility to easily set up printers via LAN to grant access to connected computers, by installing the printer driver for devices newly linked to the network. It supports TCP/IP.

Hassle-free installation and user-friendly GUI

The setup procedure is a fast and easy job that does not require too much attention. The interface is straightforward and does not include visually attractive elements, yet it is simple to navigate.It consists of two windows that allow admins to select shared devices and those over the network, as well as to manage them, respectively.

Locate network devices and add them

The first step is searching the local network or other (by specifying the network address and subnet mask) for available devices; results show the name, IP and MAC address for each identified item.In order to add one, it is necessary to indicate a device name, connection settings, printer parameters (e.g. include file in the package, test print, set as default printer) along with several scan options.

Manage printer devices and configure general settings

All devices are added to a list where it is possible to delete printers and launch applications, among others. The printer driver can be saved to overwrite the current one. The toolbar, select device window and status bar can be hidden while users can switch to another UI language, update device information with one click, edit package information, as well as restore all settings to default.

Evaluation and conclusion

There were no type of stability issues in our tests, since EpsonNet SetupManager did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. It runs on low CPU and RAM, so it does not put a strain on computer performance. All in all, it serves its purpose and needs the configuration of just a few settings to quickly assign printers to network workstations.
