Peer to Peer Printing
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 FAX/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 FAX/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 or Windows
®
XP computer providing that the
Microsoft Internet Print Services software is installed on the client PC,
IIS is installed and running on the Windows
®
2000 or Windows
®
XP and
that the client PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft Internet
Explorer.

means that you can use HP utilities to manage and to print to your
Brother printer.
