Note
If you have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using a Domain Name System (DNS), you can
also enter the DNS name of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names,
you can also enter the NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in the Network
Configuration List. (To learn how to print the Network Configuration List, see Printing the Network
Configuration List on page 123.) The NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node
name, and by default it will appear as “BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx” for a wired network or “BRWxxxxxxxxxxxx”
for a wireless network. (“xxxxxxxxxxxx” is your machine’s MAC Address / Ethernet Address.)

If the appropriate printer driver is already installed on your computer, Windows Vista
®
and Windows
Server
®
2008 will automatically use that driver. In this case, you will simply be asked if you wish to
make the driver the default printer, after which the Driver installation wizard will complete. You are
now ready to print.
Go to step k.
„ If the printer driver has NOT been installed:
One of the benefits of the IPP printing protocol is that it establishes the model name of the printer
when you communicate with it. After successful communication you will see the model name of the
printer automatically. This means that you do not need to inform Windows Vista
®
and Windows
Server
®
2008 about the type of printer driver to be used.
