Troubleshooting

Protocol-specific troubleshooting
Windows
®
2000/XP and Windows Vista
®
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 port 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 and Windows Vista
®
system.
http://ipaddress/ipp
The “Go to printer’s Web site” option in Windows
®
XP and Windows Vista
®
is not working
The “Get More Info” option in Windows
®
2000 and Windows Server
®
2003 is not working
If you are using a URL of:
http://ipaddress:631
or
http://ipaddress:631/ipp
,
the
Get More Info
option in Windows
®
2000/XP, Windows Vista
®
and Windows Server
®
2003 will not
function. If you wish to use the
Get More Info
option, use the following URL:
http://ipaddress
This will then force Windows
®
2000/XP and Windows Vista
®
to use Port 80 to communicate with the Brother
print server.
Web browser troubleshooting (TCP/IP)
1
If you can not connect to the print server using your web browser it may be worth checking the Proxy
Settings of your browser. Look in the Exceptions setting and if necessary, type in the IP address of the
print server. This will stop your PC from trying to connect to your ISP or proxy server every time you wish
to look at the printer server.
2
Make sure that you are using the proper web browser, we recommend Netscape Navigator
®
version 7.1
or later/ Microsoft Internet Explorer
®
