12 Internet printing for Windows®

Overview

Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2003/2008 users can print using TCP/IP using the standard Network Printing IPP protocol software built into Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2003/2008 installation.

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 machine 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”.

This print server also supports the IPPS printing, see Printing documents securely using IPPS on page 92.
