Windows 95/98 Peer to Peer Print (LPR)
Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble printing on a Windows 95/98 (or later) Peer-to-Peer network (LPR
method), check the following:
1.
You may find that during the installation of BLP software, the screen that prompts you for a
Port name is not displayed. This may happen on some Windows 95/98 computers. Press the
ALT and TAB keys to make it appear.
Make sure that TCP/IP and TCP/IP print service are installed and running on the
Windows NT system or the LAN Server file server.
If you are using DHCP and you have not created a reservation for the print server,
make sure that you enter the NetBIOS name of the print server in the "Name or address
of server providing lpd" box.
Make sure that the Brother LPR Port driver is correctly installed and configured
according to the Windows 95/98 Peer-to-Peer chapters.
