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 ® 3.5x and NT ® 4.0 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 default IP address of Brother print servers is 0.0.0.0. To change it, use the printer control
panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin Professional utility, or let your DHCP server allocate an IP
address.
2
Refer to the Quick Setup Guide of the printer to learn how to configure the IP address on your
printer.
3
The default password for Brother print servers is access .
4
Windows NT ® 3.51 and Windows NT ® 4.0 users must install the "Microsoft TCP/IP printing"
protocol.
5
Windows ® 2000/XP users can print using TCP/IP using the standard Network Printing software and
IPP protocol software built into any Windows ® 2000/XP installation.
6
Windows ® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via a Windows ® 2000/XP
computer providing that the Microsoft Internet Print Services software is installed on the client PC,
IIS is installed and running on the Windows
® 2000/XP computer and that the client PC is using
version 4 or later of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
7
The default name for a Brother print server is usually BRN_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last six
digits of the Ethernet address of the print server).
Windows NT ® 3.5x/NT ® 4.0/2000/XP (TCP/IP) Configuration
If you have not already done so, install the TCP/IP protocol onto your Windows NT ® system. This is done
via the Network icon in the Control Panel window of the Windows NT ® system (the Control Panel is
in the Main window on NT 3.5x systems, or use the Start button on NT 4.0 to access the Settings/
Control Panel menu). The default configuration of Windows
® 2000/XP automatically installs the TCP/
IP protocol. Refer to the appropriate section in this chapter for more information.
