CHAPTER TWO

TCP/IP Printing



Printing from Windows NT or
Windows 2000/XP, LAN Server
and Warp Server

Overview


Users of Windows NT can print directly to a network ready Brother printers using
the TCP/IP protocol. Microsoft Windows NT users must install Microsoft's "TCP/IP
printing" protocol. Windows 2000 and XP users are able to send print jobs directly to
the printer without installing any additional software. Brother's Print Server also
support 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 192.0.0.192. To change it,

use the BRAdmin Professional utility or let your DHCP server allocate an IP
address to the printer.

For more information on configuring the IP address of

the print server, refer to chapter 8 of this user guide.

2. The default password for Brother print servers is "access".
3. Windows NT users must install the "Microsoft TCP/IP printing" protocol

(available through the control panel applet)

4. Windows 2000 and XP users can print using TCP/IP using the standard

Network Printing software built into any Windows 2000/XP installation.

5. The default name for Brother print servers is usually BRO_xxxxxx (where

xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the print server).
