Chapter 3 How to Configure Peer-to-Peer Printing for Windows 95/98 Microsoft's Windows 95/98 operating system features built-in networking capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows 95/98 PC to be configured as a client workstation in a NetWare and Windows NT, environment. For smaller networks, Windows 95/98 also allows the PC to operate in a peer-to-peer mode. In this mode, the PC can share resources with other PCs on the network without the need for a central file server. There are two methods of printing to a Ethernet print server in a Windows 95/98 peer to peer network. One method uses the Brother LPR Port driver as described below. As the Brother print server is also compatible with HP's JetAdmin software, this compatibility allows you to use HP's peer to peer printing software. We recommend to use the Brother LPR software if you are using the TCP/IP protocol on your PC's. LPR method (TCP/IP) This software requires the TCP/IP protocol to be installed on your Windows 95/98 peer-topeer computers and an IP Address had to be defined for the print server. To install the TCP/IP protocol refer to your Windows 95/98 documentation. 3-1

How to Configure Peer-to-Peer Printing for
Windows 95/98
Microsoft's Windows 95/98 operating system features built-in networking capabilities. These
capabilities allow a Windows 95/98 PC to be configured as a client workstation in a NetWare
and Windows NT, environment.
For smaller networks, Windows 95/98 also allows the PC to operate in a peer-to-peer mode.
In this mode, the PC can share resources with other PCs on the network without the need for a
central file server.
There are two methods of printing to a Ethernet print server in a Windows 95/98 peer to peer
network. One method uses the Brother LPR Port driver as described below. As the Brother
print server is also compatible with HP’s JetAdmin software, this compatibility allows you to
use HP’s peer to peer printing software. We recommend to use the Brother LPR software if
you are using the
TCP/IP protocol on your PC’s.
LPR method (TCP/IP)
This software requires the TCP/IP protocol to be installed on your Windows 95/98 peer-to-
peer computers and an IP Address had to be defined for the print server. To install the TCP/IP
protocol refer to your Windows 95/98 documentation.
