Network printing from Windows

basic TCP/IP Peer-to-Peer printing

Overview

If you are a Windows

user and want to print using the TCP/IP protocol in a Peer-to-Peer environment, please

follow the instructions in this chapter. This chapter explains how to install the network software and the printer

driver which you will need to be able to print using your network printer.

Note

• You must configure the IP address on your printer before you proceed with this chapter. If you haven’t

done yet, see Chapter 2 first.

• Verify the host computer and print server are either on the same subnet, or that the router is properly

configured to pass data between the two devices.

• The default password for Brother print servers is access.

For Windows

2000/XP users

By default, Windows

2000/XP systems install the necessary print software to enable you to print. This

section describes the most commonly used configuration, Standard TCP/IP Port printing. Windows

2000/XP

users can also print via the Internet using the IPP protocol. For more information, see Internet printing for

Windows® on page 5-1.

If you have already installed the printer driver, jump to Printer driver already installed on page 3-2.
