Adding A Second Network Direct Print Port - Brother NC-series User Manual

CHAPTER 4 WINDOWS 95/98 PEER-TO-PEER CONFIGURATION

Adding a Second Network Direct Print Port

You do not re-run the install program to add a new Network Direct Print
port. Instead, press the Start button, select Settings, and open the Printers
windows. Click on the icon of the printer that you wish to configure, select
File form the Menu bar, and then choose Properties. Click on the Details
tab and push the Add Port button. In the Add Port dialog, select the Other
radio button and then highlight "Brother LPR port". Click OK and enter
the port name. The default port name is BLP1. If you have already used
this name, you will get an error message if you try to use it again, in which
case use BLP2, etc... One suggested naming scheme is to use BLP followed
by the IP address of the printer. For example, BLP193.1.1.10. Once you
have specified the Port name, click the OK button. You will then see the
Port Properties Dialog.
Enter the IP address of the printer that you wish to print to and click OK.
You should now see the port that you have just created in the "Print to the
following port" setting of the printer driver.
