Printer and Word Processing Page
Before buying any printer for your WebTv or MsnTv unit, please consult the updated information above and the links below.
Printers are not included when you buy a WEBTV unit,and you
must choose your printer from three brands,Hewlett-Packard, Epson or Canon.
This tutorial also includes information for the original Classic unit,the 1999 updated Classic unit and the WEBTV Plus unit.
A printer cable adapter is required ONLY for the original Classic
unit. Please refer to the instruction manual received with your
WebTv Unit
Supported printers are listed here, but also refer to the on-screen
instructions for the very latest information.

BJC610, BJC620, and BJC-80
EPSON: Please check with the manufacturer for the correct model
numbers.
You do not need to use the software disks that came with your
printer. The only software needed to print from your Internet TV Terminal is provided by
the WebTv Service.
Connecting a printer to your Internet TV Terminal allows you to
print what you see on the screen, including e-mail messages and
Web pages.
Turn off and unplug the Internet Terminal from the electrical power
source.
Connect one end of the Parallel Printer Cable to the printer port
connector on the back of the Internet TV Terminal. ( If using the
original Classic unit,
plug this end into the Printer Adaptor that you have attached to the
terminal)
Connect the other end of the Parallel Printer Cable to the connector
on your printer.
To print a Web page or an e-mail message,press OPTIONS on your remote
control or keyboard.The Options panel slides on-screen,with Print
already highlighted.
Press Go on your remote control or Return on the keyboard,and then
select Print. You can also select Print Screen which prints the
entire image on your TV screen,or select Printing Options to
customize the printed output.
~IMPORTANT-PLEASE READ~
During the past year there have been other printers that may have
been released for use with Web Tv. I have not seen or used these
printers. So, before you buy, please consult the Web Tv Help
Section on your Web Tv unit for the latest compatible printers.
CAUTION: Some of the latest printer models may not work with
the original Classic WebTv unit. Please check with the manufacturer
of the printer that you are considering.
