Network printing from Windows

basic TCP/IP Peer-to-Peer printing

Overview

®
If you are a Windows user and want to print using the TCP/IP protocol in a Peer-to-Peer environment, please
follow the instructions in this chapter. This chapter explains how to install the network software and the printer
driver which you will need to be able to print using your network printer.
Note
• You must configure the IP address on your machine before you proceed with this chapter. If you have
not configured the IP address, see Configuring your network printer on page 2-1 first.
• Verify the host computer and print server are either on the same subnet, or that the router is properly
configured to pass data between the two devices.
• The default password for Brother print servers is "access".
• If you are connecting to a Nework Print Queue or Share (printing only), see Installation when using a
Network Print Queue or Share (printer driver only) on page A-6 for installation details.
For Windows
®
By default, Windows 2000/XP systems install with all the necessary software required for you to be able to
print. This section describes the most commonly used configuration, Standard TCP/IP Port printing.
®
Windows 2000/XP users can also print via Internet using the IPP protocol. For more information, see
Internet printing for Windows® on page 5-1.
If you have already installed the printer driver, jump to Printer driver already installed on page 4-3.
