TCP/IP Printing Our Peer to Peer printing software requires the TCP/IP protocol to be installed on your Windows® peer-to-peer computers and an IP Address has to be defined for the print server. Refer to your Windows® documentation for more information on how to configure the TCP/IP protocol on your Windows® PC. If you haven't already done so, configure the IP address of the printer, for more information on IP address configuration, refer to chapter 12 of this user guide. Installing the Brother Peer to Peer Software 1 Start the CD-ROM installation menu program according to the Quick Setup Guide. 2 Select the proper model and then the Software Installation menu. Then select the appropriate menu to start the Brother Network Print Software installation program. 3 Push the Next button in response to the Welcome message. 4 Select the Brother Peer to Peer Print (LPR) button. 5 Select the desired directory to install the Brother Peer to Peer Print (LPR) files and push Next. The installation program will create the directory for you if it does not already exist on your disk. 6 Enter the Port name that you wish to use and click OK. The default port name is BLP1. Whichever name you choose, it must be unique and it MUST begin with BLP. 7 You must now enter the actual IP address of the print server in the Printer name or IP address field. If you have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using Domain Name System, you can also enter the name of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you can also enter the NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in your printer configuration page. By default the NetBIOS name will usually appear as BRN_xxxxxx where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address. PEER TO PEER PRINTING 3 - 2
