basic TCP/IP Peer-to-Peer printing
Overview
If you are a Windows ® user and want to print using the TCP/IP protocol in a Peer-to-Peer environment, please
follow the instructions in this chapter. This chapter explains how to install the network software and the printer
driver which you will need to be able to print using your network printer.
Note
• You must configure the IP address on your machine before you proceed with this chapter. If you have
not configured the IP address, see Configuring your network printer on page 2-1 first.
• Verify the host computer and print server are either on the same subnet, or that the router is properly
configured to pass data between the two devices.
• The default password for Brother print servers is “access”.
• If you are connecting to a Nework Print Queue or Share (printing only), see Installation when using a
Network Print Queue or Share (printer driver only) on page A-6 for installation details.

print. This section describes the most commonly used configuration, Standard TCP/IP Port printing.
Windows
® 2000/XP users can also print via Internet using the IPP protocol. For more information, see
Internet printing for Windows® on page 5-1.
