Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP IPP Troubleshooting

Want to use a different Port number other than 631
If you are using Port 631 for IPP printing, you may find that your firewall may not let the print
data through. If this is the case, use a different power number (port 80), or configure your
Firewall to allow Port 631 data through.
To send a print job using IPP to a printer using Port 80 (the standard HTTP port) enter the
following when configuring your Windows 2000/XP system.
http://ip_address/ipp
Get More Info option in Windows 2000 not working
If you are using a URL of:
or http://ip_address:631/ipp, the Get More Info
http://ip_address:631
option in Windows 2000 will not function. If you wish to use the Get More Info option, use the
following URL:
http://ip_address
This will then force Windows 2000/XP to use Port 80 to communicate with the Brother print
server.
Windows 95/98/Me clients not able to get the driver from a Windows 2000/XP system.
You must be using version 4.0 or later of Internet Explorer and the Microsoft Internet Print
Services software must be installed on your client computers.
