8 - 5 DLC PRINTING
The final step is to cr eate a printer using the normal operating system
printer setup method. The only difference is that instead of
connecting the printer to the LPT1 parallel port, you point i t to the

printing.
Brother does not recommend us ing the DLC protocol with
Windows® for Workgroups 3.11 in a p eer-to-peer
configuration if the printer will be heavily used. This is
because jobs may be rejec ted due to print spooler time outs.
The best solution in thes e situations is to set up one PC as a
server for handling networ k print jobs. All of the other PCs
send their print jobs t o the server PC using NetBEUI or TCP/
IP, and the server PC then uses DLC to send the print jobs to
the Brother print server.
