How to Configure Peer-to-Peer Printing for

Windows 95/98

Microsoft's Windows 95/98 operating system features built-in networking capabilities. These

capabilities allow a Windows 95/98 PC to be configured as a client workstation in a NetWare

and Windows NT, environment.

For smaller networks, Windows 95/98 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.

There are two methods of printing to a Ethernet print server in a Windows 95/98 peer to peer

network. One method uses the Brother LPR Port driver as described below. As the Brother

print server is also compatible with HP’s JetAdmin software, this compatibility allows you to

use HP’s peer to peer printing software. We recommend to use the Brother LPR software if

you are using the TCP/IP protocol on your PC’s.

LPR method (TCP/IP)

This software requires the TCP/IP protocol to be installed on your Windows 95/98 peer-to-

peer computers and an IP Address had to be defined for the print server. To install the TCP/IP

protocol refer to your Windows 95/98 documentation.
