This cannot be done directly. You will need the proper decoder equipment to
convert the TV pictures to a print format to be compatible to the printer.
This takes a computer with the proper boards, and a TV video source to the
computer.

You are going to spend some descent money to do what you want.

Please good pals,
A good friend of mine has this Epson Stylus Photo 825 printer
and would like to connect it to a standart TV ( as monitor prreview
for printing photographs). The printer has two ports; a USB and
another ten pin port which looks like an S-Video socket but the manual
that came with the printer does not say anything about this ten pin
port. Now my problem is how do I connect the printer to standard TV
from this port? because all the cable available seems to fit only DVD
player (5 pins)May I know the name of this ten pin cable / socket?and
where can I obtain some. Can I match it to the Audio-Video input of a
standard TV or is there any way I can hook it up to a stand alone
computer monitor. I know it can be connected to a PC thru" the USB
port but using a stand-alone monitor or a standard TV will be more
convinient.
I have consulted the Epson on-line customer section on the net but
no reply.
Thanks in advance.

Print an index sheet, or buy the optional preview screen (low res LCD
panel - progressive scan and definately not an output you can use with
anything else). There is no way this printer will drive an external
monitor let alone a TV screen.
The connector is for the optional preview screen.
