4 NetBIOS Peer to Peer Printing 4 How to Print Using NetBIOS in Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP, Windows NT®4.0, LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server Overview Brother Print/Fax server range supports SMB (Server Message Block) over the TCP/IP protocol via the NetBIOS interface. This means that just like regular Windows® PC's, Brother printers can appear in your network neighborhood. The main advantage of NetBIOS printing is that you are able to print from legacy DOS applications that are running on PC's that are connected to Microsoft networks. Quick Tips: 1 The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using the machine control panel. For more information, see APIPA on page 10-9. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control panel, the BRAdmin Professional utility, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the machine. 2 To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see Chapter 11 of this User's Guide . 3 The default password for Brother Print/Fax servers is access. 4 The default domain name of the Print/Fax server is WORKGROUP, to change it use your web browser or the BRAdmin Professional utility. 4 - 1 NETBIOS PEER TO PEER PRINTING
