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 machine before you proceed with this chapter. If you have 
not configured the IP address, see 

Configuring your network printer on page 7 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

”.

•

Before installation, if you are using Personal Firewall software (e.g. the Internet Connection Firewall 
available in Windows XP/Windows Vista

®

), disable it. Once you are sure that you can print, re-start 

your Personal Firewall software.

•

If you are connecting to a Nework Print Queue or Share (printing only), see 

Installation when using a 

Network Print Queue or Share (printer driver only) on page 93 for installation details.
