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:
