Peer to Peer Printing

How to Print in a Windows

®

 95/98/Me 

Peer to Peer network

Overview

Microsoft's Windows

®

 95/98/Me operating systems feature built-in 

networking capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows

®

 PC to 

be configured as a client workstation in a file server based network 
environment.

For smaller networks, Windows

®

 95/98/Me 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. 

Quick Tips:

1

The default IP address of Brother print servers is 

192.0.0.192

. To change it, use the printer control panel (if 

applicable), the BRAdmin application, or let your DHCP server 
allocate an IP address to the printer.

2

Refer to chapter 12 of this user guide to learn how to configure 
the IP address on your printer.

The default password for Brother print servers is 

access

.

Windows

®

 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP 

protocol via a Windows

®

 2000 computer providing that the 

Microsoft Internet Print Services software is installed on the 
client PC, IIS is installed and running on the Windows

®

 2000 

and that the client PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft 
Internet Explorer.

Brother printers are also compatible with HP JetDirect software, 
this means that you can use HP utilities to manage and to print 
to your Brother printer.
