 is the IP address or the print server name).

Note

If you have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using Domain Name System (DNS), you can also 
enter the DNS name of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you can 
also enter the NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in the Network 
Configuration List. The NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node name and by default it 
will appear as 

BRN_xxxxxx

 where 

xxxxxx

 is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.

When you click 

Next

, Windows

®

 2000/XP will make a connection with the URL that you specified.

If the printer driver has already been installed:

If the appropriate printer driver is already installed on your PC, Windows

®

 2000/XP will automatically use that 

driver for use. In this case, you will simply be asked if you wish to make the driver the default driver, after 
which the Driver installation Wizard will complete. You are now ready to print.

If the printer driver has NOT been installed:

One of the benefits of the IPP printing protocol is that it establishes the model name of the printer when you 
communicate with it. After successful communication you will see the model name of the printer 
automatically. This means that you do not need to inform Windows

®

 2000/XP the type of printer driver to be 

used.
