9If you are using Sun Solaris V2.4 or earlier, there is a bug which causes long print jobs to fail when using a Printer/Fax server. If you are having trouble printing long jobs (over 1MB), add the line mx#0 to your etc/printcap file entry.

10If you cannot print from DEC TCP/IP Service for VMS (UCX), make sure that you have version 2.0B or later of this software, because earlier versions will not work with Brother Print/Fax servers.

1Make sure that TCP/IP and TCP/IP print service are installed and running on the Windows NT® 4.0 system or the LAN Server file server.

2If you are using DHCP and you have not created a reservation for the Print/Fax server, make sure that you enter the NetBIOS name of the Print/Fax server in the Name or address of server providing lpd box.

Windows® 95/98/Me Peer to Peer Print (LPR) Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble printing on a Windows® 95/98/Me Peer-to- Peer network (LPR method), check the following:

1Make sure that the Brother LPR Port driver is correctly installed and configured according to the Windows® 95/98/Me Peer-to- Peer chapters.
