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 printer before you proceed with this chapter. If you need to configure the IP address, see Chapter 2 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.
