CHAPTER 5 BIP INTERNET PRINTING INSTALLATION 

5-1

 

 

 
Brother's Brother Internet Print (BIP ) software, for Windows 95/98/Me/NT4.0, 
allows a PC user at one location, to send a print job to a Brother Printer at a 
remote location via the Internet. For example, a user on a PC in New York could 
print a document directly from his Microsoft Excel application program to a 
printer in Paris. 
 
Windows 2000/XP users can also use this BIP software, but are recommended to 
use the IPP protocol support that is part of the Windows 2000/XP operating 
systems. Skip to the “Windows 2000 IPP Printing” section of this document. 
 
Quick Tips: 
 

1.  The default IP address of Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192. To change 

it, use the printer control panel, 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 2000/XP users can print using TCP/IP using the standard 

Network Printing software and IPP protocol software built into any 
Windows 2000/XP installation.  

5.  Windows 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via 

Windows2000 computer providing that the Microsoft Internet Print 
Services software is installed on the client PC, IIS is installed and 
running on the server and that the client PC is using version 4 or later of 
Microsoft Internet Explorer.
