8 - 5 DLC PRINTING

The final step is to create a printer using the normal operating system 
printer setup method. The only difference is that instead of 
connecting the printer to the LPT1 parallel port, you point it to the 
network port you just created.

printing.

Brother does not recommend using the DLC protocol with 
Windows

®

 for Workgroups 3.11 in a peer-to-peer 

configuration if the printer will be heavily used. This is 
because jobs may be rejected due to print spooler timeouts. 
The best solution in these situations is to set up one PC as a 
server for handling network print jobs. All of the other PCs 
send their print jobs to the server PC using NetBEUI or TCP/
IP, and the server PC then uses DLC to send the print jobs to 
the Brother print server.
