CHAPTER 13 TROUBLESHOOTING
Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP FTP/IPP Troubleshooting
Want to use a different Port number other than 631
If you are using Port 631 for IPP printing, you may find that your firewall may not let the print data through. If this is the case, use a different port number (port 80), or configure your Firewall to allow Port 631 data through.
To send a print job using IPP to a printer using Port 80 (the standard HTTP port) enter the following when configuring your Windows® 2000/XP system.
http://ip_address/ipp
Get More Info option in Windows® 2000/XP not working
If you are using a URL of:
http://ip_address:631 or
http://ip_address:631/ipp, the “Get More Info” option in Windows® 2000 will not function. If you wish to use the “Get More Info” option use the following URL:
http://ip_address
This will then force Windows® 2000 to use Port 80 to communicate with the Brother Print / Fax server.
