Print server configuration for Windows
Windows Vista™ and Windows Server

Print server configuration

In order for this function to work, you must correctly change the domain name or workgroup name to match
that of your network. Once this is done, the print server will appear automatically in your network
neighborhood and you will be able to send print documents to it without having to install additional software.
A domain offers centralized security management whereas a workgroup offers distributed security
management. The print server does not care if your network consists of a Workgroup or a Domain, the only
thing you must tell it is the name of the workgroup or domain. The Brother print server automatically has a
default workgroup/domain name of WORKGROUP. If you need to change name, you can configure the Brother
print server to recognize this. There are three ways of doing this. (If you are unsure about the name of your
workgroup or domain, look in the identification tab in your network applet).
Changing the Workgroup/Domain Name using the BRAdmin Professional utility
Note
• You cannot change the workgroup/domain name using the BRAdmin Light utility that was supplied on the
CD-ROM with your Brother product. Please use the latest version of BRAdmin Professional utility that is
available as a download from http://solutions.brother.com This utility is only available for Windows
• The print server must have a valid IP address and your computer must also have a valid IP address; you
can configure the IP address by using BRAdmin Light or BRAdmin Professional. See Using the BRAdmin
Light utility to configure your network printer on page 12.
• The default password for Brother print servers is access.
