 2000/XP IPP troubleshooting

Want to use a different Port number other than 631.

If you are using Port 631 for IPP printing, you may find that your firewall may not let the print data through. If 
this is the case, use a different port number (port 80), or configure your Firewall to allow Port 631 data 
through.

To send a print job using IPP to a printer using Port 80 (the standard HTTP port) enter the following when 
configuring your Windows

®

 2000/XP system.

http://ip_address/ipp

Get More Info option in Windows

 2000 not working

If you are using a URL of:

http://ip_address:631 or http://ip_address:631/ipp

, 

the Get More Info option in Windows

®

 2000 will not function. If you wish to use the Get More Info option, 

use the following URL: 

http://ip_address

This will then force Windows

®

 2000/XP to use Port 80 to communicate with the Brother print/scan server.
