Network Printing from 
Windows

® 

(Peer to Peer)

For Windows

®

 2000/XP, LAN Server 

and Warp Server users

Overview

Windows

®

 2000/XP users are able to send print jobs directly to the 

printer without installing any additional software. Brother's print 
server also supports transparent printing from IBM LAN Server and 
OS/2 Warp Server file servers, as well as from OS/2 Warp Connect 
workstations using the TCP/IP protocol. 

Quick Tips:

1

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol 
automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 
169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the 
APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using control panel. For more 
information see page 2-8.  If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the 
default IP address of a Brother Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. 
To change it, use the machine’s control panel, the BRAdmin 
Professional utility software or let your DHCP server allocate an 
IP address to the printer.
