Brother Peer to Peer Print (LPR) Troubleshooting

You may find that during the installation of BLP1 software, the screen that
prompts you for a Port name is not displayed. This happens on some
Windows 95 computers. Press the ALT and TAB keys to make it appear.

Windows 95/98 (or later) Peer-to-Peer Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble printing on a Windows 95/98 (or later) Peer-to-
Peer network, check the following (HP JetAdmin compatible method):

1. If the print server does not show up under JetAdmin on a Windows 95

Peer-to-Peer network, try removing all of the Windows 95 network
software from the Network Control panel and then reinstalling them as
follows:

-

First install the IPX/SPX-Compatible Protocol (or the TCP/IP
protocol if you are using a later version of JetAdmin)
, the Client
for Microsoft Networks
, and the network adapter card driver.

-

Install the Latest HP JetAdmin software

-

Restart the system, and then add the HP JetAdmin service.

AppleTalk Troubleshooting

If you cannot print from an AppleTalk or PATHWORKS for Macintosh
computer, you have checked the hardware and network as described in the
previous steps, then check:

1. Make sure that you are running Phase 2 AppleTalk and that you have

selected the correct network interface from the Network Control Panel
on the Macintosh.


2. Make sure that the AppleTalk protocol is enabled.

3. If you have a large network, make sure that you have the Laser Writer

V8.xx or equivalent driver, since earlier versions may cause
PostScript errors. Also, verify that you get the correct printer
information when you select Printer Info from the Setup button in
the Chooser.

4. Make sure that you have selected the correct Printer Description File

(PPD) from the Chooser (otherwise PostScript errors may result)

5. If you are running PATHWORKS for Macintosh verify that you can

print directly from VMS and that you have V1.1 or later of
PATHWORKS.
