CHAPTER TWO
TCP/IP Printing
Printing from Windows NT or
Windows 2000/LAN Server and
Warp Server
Overview
Users of Windows NT can print directly to a network ready Brother using the TCP/IP
protocol. Microsoft Windows NT 3.5x and NT 4.0 users must install Microsoft's
"TCP/IP printing" protocol. Windows 2000 users are able to send print jobs directly
to the printer without installing any additional software. Brother's Print Server also
support transparent printing from IBM LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server file
servers, as well as from OS/2 Warp Connect workstations using the TCP/IP protocol.
Quick Tips:
1. The default IP address of Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192. To change it,
use the print front panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin utility, the printer
front panel, or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.
2. The default password for Brother print servers is "access".
3. Windows NT 3.51 and Windows NT 4.0 users must install the "Microsoft
TCP/IP printing" protocol (available through the control panel applet)
4. Windows 2000 users can print using TCP/IP using the standard Network
Printing software and IPP protocol software built into any Windows 2000
installation.
5. Windows 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via a
Windows 2000 computer providing that the Microsoft Internet Print
Services software is installed on the client PC, IIS is installed and running
on the Windows 2000 computer and that the client PC is using version 4 or
later of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
6. The default name for a Brother print server is always BRN_xxxxxx (where
xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the print server). Print
servers found in Brother FAX/MFC products begin with the name BRF-
xxxxxx. Older Brother printers that use the NC-2000 series of print servers
use the name BRO_xxxxxx
