Windows 2000 Printing
(Printer Driver not yet installed)
By default, Windows 2000 systems install with all the necessary software required
for you to be able to print. This chapter describes the two most commonly used
configurations, Standard TCP/IP Port printing and IPP (Internet Printing Protocol). If
you have already installed the printer driver, jump to the printer driver already
installed section.
Standard TCP/IP Port Printing
1.
 From the Printers Folder select Add Printer, the Add Printer Wizard will
now start. Click on Next.
2.
 Now select the Local Printer option and deselect the Automatically detect
and install my Plug and Play printer option.

9.
 Windows 2000 will now contact the printer that you specified. If you did not
specify the correct IP address or name then you will receive an error
message.
10.
 Click the Finish button to complete the Wizard.
11.
 Now that you have configured the port, you must specify which printer
driver you wish to use. Select the appropriate driver from the list of
supported printers. If you are using a driver supplied with the printer on CD-
ROM/Floppy then select the Have Disk option to browse to the CD-
ROM/Floppy disk. You can also click the “Windows Update” button to
connect directly to Microsoft’s support Web site to download printer drivers.

ip_address is the IP address, NetBIOS name or DNS name of the print
server).
5.
 Click the Next button
6.
 Windows 2000 will now connect to the device that you specified and
determine the model number of the printer, if the appropriate driver is
installed on the PC, it will be used, if the appropriate driver is not available
you will be asked to insert the driver diskette that was supplied with the
printer.
7.
 Follow the Wizard through to the end of the installation.
8.
 Click the Finish button to complete the Wizard.
IPP printing from Windows 95/98/Me Clients
It is also possible to send a IPP print jobs from a Windows 95/98/Me client PC
providing the PC has the ability to connect to and access Windows 2000 resources.
Visit the Microsoft web site (www.microsoft.com) and download the Windows
Internet Print Services support software for Windows systems.
Once installed, this software will allow you to connect to a Windows 2000 system
that is also running IIS and send print jobs using the IPP protocol.
By using Microsoft’s IPP software you can also send jobs to other printers that do
not support the IPP protocol.
Windows 2000 Printing
(Printer Driver already installed)
If you have already installed the printer driver and wish to configure it for network
printing, follow these steps:
1.
 Select the printer driver you wish to configure
2.

address of server providing lpd: box. If you have edited your HOSTS file or
are using Domain Name System, you can enter the name associated with the
print server, instead of an IP address. As the print server supports TCP/IP
and NetBIOS names, you can also enter the NetBIOS name of the print
server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in your print configuration sheet.
From default the NetBIOS name will appear as BRN_xxxxxx where
xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.
6.
 Type in the print server service name in the Name of printer or print queue
on that server: box. If you do not know which service name to use, enter
BINARY_P1 and then click on OK:

LAN Server, OS/2 Warp Server
Configuration
Brother Print Servers will work with IBM LAN Server, OS/2 Warp Server networks
that have IBM TCP/IP V2.0 or later installed on the file server (TCP/IP is supplied as
standard with LAN Server V4.0 and later as well as Warp Server). Use the following
procedure to configure the print server on an LAN Server or OS/2 Warp Server file
server, or on a OS/2 Warp Connect workstation:
Server Configuration
Make sure that TCP/IP software is installed on your OS/2 file server. If you have not
already done so, open the TCP/IP folder on the desktop, and double click on the
TCP/IP Configuration icon to add the IP address to the OS/2 file server (consult your
system manager for this address).
Refer to chapter 12 for information on how to assign an IP address to the printer.
Configuration of an OS/2 Server
1.
 From the OS/2 desktop open the Templates folder. Use the right mouse
button to drag the Printer icon (not the Network Printer icon) onto the
desktop.
2.
 The Create a Printer window should be open (if it is not, double click on the
printer icon).
3.
 Type in any name for the printer.
4.
 Select the default printer driver. If the desired printer driver is not listed,
click on the Install new Printer Driver button and add the driver.
5.
 Choose the output port. IBM TCP/IP automatically creates 8 named pipes
called  \PIPE\LPD0 through to \PIPE\LPD7. Pick an unused port and double
click on it.
Early versions of Warp Server have a bug in which the named pipes do not appear
(the problem does not affect Warp Connect or LAN Server). This problem is fixed
via a patch available from IBM.
You will get the Settings window. Enter the following:
LPD server The Brother Print Server name (from the HOSTS file) or
its IP address.
LPD printer For most applications, use the Brother Print Server
binary service BINARY_P1. However, if you are
printing text files from the DOS or OS/2 command
prompt, you should use the text service TEXT_P1, which
will add carriage returns for proper formatting of the data
(but will potentially distort graphics printouts).
Host name The IP name of the OS/2 file server
User The IP address of the OS/2 file server 
						

							CHAPTER 2 TCP/IP PRINTING
2-10
You may leave the other entries blank. Click on the OK button. The pipe should be
highlighted; if not click on it.
Click on the Create button to create the printer.
Open the LAN Services folder and execute the LAN Requester program:
1.
 Select Definitions
2.
 Select Aliases
3.
 Select Printers
4.
 Select Create. Enter the following:
Alias Should be same as the printer name
previously defined
Description Anything you want
Server name Name of OS/2 server
Spooler queue Name of printer as defined previously
Maximum number of users Leave blank unless you want to limit the
number of users
5.
 Exit the LAN Requester program.
6.
 You should now be able to print. To test the queue, type the following from
either the OS/2 command prompt or from a DOS workstation:
7.
 COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS \\servername\alias
8.
 Where servername is the name of the file server and alias is the alias name
that you specified during this configuration process. This should print the
CONFIG.SYS file on the printer. Note that if you selected a binary service
as the LPD printer name, the lines will be staggered; dont worry about this
because normal DOS, Windows, and OS/2 applications will print OK.
9.
 The Brother Print Server will appear as a standard OS/2 printer to
application programs. To make the print server operate transparently with
DOS programs, execute the following command on each workstation:
10.
 NET USE LPT1: \\servername\alias
11.
 This will make the printer appear to the software as a printer that is directly
connected to the parallel port of the workstation.

CHAPTER THREE
Peer to Peer Printing
How to Print in a Windows
95/98/Me Peer to Peer network
Overview
Microsofts 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 print front panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin utility, the printer
front panel, or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.
2. Refer to chapter 12 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.
