Network printing from Windows

:
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 printer before you proceed with this chapter. If you haven’t
done yet, see Chapter 2 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.
For Windows ® 2000/XP users
By default, Windows ® 2000/XP systems install with all the necessary software required for you to be able to
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.
