CHAPTER 3 TCP/IP PEER TO PEER PRINTING 

3-1

 

 
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 servers is 192.0.0.192. To change 

it, use the printer control panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin application, 
or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer. 

2. Refer 

 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP 

address on your printer. 

3.  The default password for Brother print 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.
