TCP/IP Printing

Printing from Windows NT

®

4.0, 

Windows

®

 2000/XP, LAN Server and 

Warp Server

Overview

Users of Windows NT

®

4.0 can print directly to a network-ready 

Brother printer using the TCP/IP protocol. Microsoft Windows 
NT

®

4.0 users must install Microsoft's "TCP/IP printing" protocol. 

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 the APIPA protocol is disabled, the 
default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To 
change it, use the printer control panel (if applicable), the 
BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software or let your 
DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

standard Network Printing software and IPP protocol software 
built into any Windows
