TCP/IP Printing

Printing from Windows

®

NT, Windows

®

2000/XP, LAN Server and Warp Server

Overview

Users of Windows

®

NT can print directly to a network-ready Brother

printer using the TCP/IP protocol. Microsoft Windows

®

NT users

must install Microsoft's "TCP/IP printing" protocol. Windows

®

2000/

XP users are able to send print jobs directly to the printer without
installing any additional software. Brother's print server also supports
transparent printing from IBM LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server file
servers, as well as from OS/2 Warp Connect workstations using the
TCP/IP protocol.

Quick Tips:

1

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol
automatically assigns an IP address from the range:
169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the
APIPA protocol, see Chapter 3 "Network factory default setting"
on page 3-11 of the User's Guide. If the APIPA protocol is
disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is
192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if
applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software
or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.
