Note

If you have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using a Domain Name System (DNS), you can 
also enter the DNS name of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, 
you can also enter the NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in the Network 
Configuration List. To learn how to print the Network Configuration List, see 

Printing the Network 

Configuration List

 on page 105. The NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node name 

and by default it will appear as “BRNxxxxxx” for a wired network or “BRWxxxxxx” for a wireless network 
(where “xxxxxx” is the last six digits of the Ethernet address).

If the printer driver has NOT been installed:
One of the benefits of the IPP printing protocol is that it establishes the model name of the printer 
when you communicate with it. After successful communication you will see the model name of the 
printer automatically. This means that you do not need to inform Windows Vista™ about the type of 
printer driver to be used.
