Peer to Peer Printing
How to Print in a Windows
95/98/Me Peer to Peer network
Overview
Microsoft's Windows 95/98/Me operating systems features built-in networking
capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows PC to be configured as a client
workstation in a file server based network environment.
For smaller networks, Windows 95/98/Me also allows the PC to operate in a
peer-to-peer mode. In this mode, the PC can share resources with other PCs on
the network without the need for a central file server.
Quick Tips:
1. The default IP address of Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192. To change
it, use the printer control panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin application,
or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.
2. Refer to chapter 12 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP
address on your printer.
3. The default password for Brother print servers is "access".
4. Windows 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via
a Windows 2000 computer providing that the Microsoft Internet Print
Services software is installed on the client PC, IIS is installed and
running on the Windows 2000 and that the client PC is using version 4
or later of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
5. Brother printers are also compatible with HP JetDirect software, this
means that you can use HP utilities to manage and to print to your
Brother printer.
