TCP/IP Peer-to-Peer printing

Overview

®
If you are a Windows user and want to print using the TCP/IP protocol in a Peer-to-Peer environment, please
follow the instructions in this chapter. This chapter explains how to install the network software and the printer
driver which you will need in order to use your network printer.
Note
• You must configure the IP address on your printer before you proceed with this chapter. If you need to
configure the IP address, see Chapter 2 first.
• Verify the host computer and print server are either on the same subnet, or that the router is properly
configured to pass data between the two devices.
• The default password for Brother print servers is access.

address or name then an error dialog will appear.
