How to Print in a Windows® 95/98/Me Peer to Peer network

Overview

Microsoft's Windows® 95/98/Me operating systems features built-in networking capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows® PC to be configured as a client workstation in a file server based network environment.

For smaller networks, Windows® 95/98/Me also allows the PC to operate in a peer-to-peer mode. In this mode, the PC can share resources with other PCs on the network without the need for a central file server.

Quick Tips:

1.The default IP address of Brother Print / Fax servers is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the MFC’s front panel, the BRAdmin application, or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

2.Refer to chapter 1 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP address on your MFC.

3.The default password for Brother Print / Fax servers is "access".

4.Windows® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via a Windows® 2000 computer providing that the Microsoft Internet Print

Services software is installed on the client PC, IIS is installed and running on the Windows® 2000 and that the client PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

5.Brother printers are also compatible with HP JetDirect software, this means that you can use HP utilities to manage and to print to your Brother printer.
