Windows NT/LAN Server (TCP/IP) Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble printing with Windows NT or LAN Server, check the following:

1.

Make sure that TCP/IP and TCP/IP print service are installed and running on the
Windows NT system or the LAN Server file server.

2.

If you are using DHCP and you have not created a reservation for the print server,
make sure that you enter the NetBIOS name of the print server in the “Name or address
of server providing lpd” box.

Windows 95/98 Peer to Peer Print (LPR)
Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble printing on a Windows 95/98 (or later) Peer-to-Peer network (LPR
method), check the following:

1.

Make sure that the Brother LPR Port driver is correctly installed and configured
according to the Windows 95/98 Peer-to-Peer chapters.

You may find that during the installation of BLP software, the screen that prompts you for a
Port name is not displayed. This may happen on some Windows 95/98 computers. Press the
ALT and TAB keys to make it appear.
