NETBIOS PEER TO PEER PRINTING 4 - 2

Print Server Configuration

In order for this function to work, you must correctly change the DOMAIN name or WORKGROUP name

to match that of your network. Once this is done, the print server will appear automatically in your network

neighborhood and you will be able to send print documents to it without having to install additional

software. However, in some instances you may find that your Windows

95/98/Me and Windows

NT4.0/

2000/XP systems may receive "Printer is busy" error messages when more than one person attempts

to access the print server. In this instance Brother has provided the "Brother NetBIOS Port Monitor"

software which allows users to continue spooling print jobs while the printer is busy, down or out of paper.

The port monitor will hold the jobs until the printer is again available.

When you install Windows

95/98/Me you are asked which workgroup you belong to. The default

workgroup name for Windows

95/98/Me is WORKGROUP, however you could change this to anything you

want. With Windows

NT, Microsoft introduced the concept of "Domains". A domain offers centralized

security management whereas a workgroup offers distributed security management. The print server

does not care if your network consists of a Workgroup or a Domain, the only thing you must tell it is the

name of the workgroup or domain. The Brother print server automatically has a default workgroup/

domain name of WORKGROUP. If you need to change name, you can configure the Brother print server to

recognize this. There are two ways of doing this. (If you are unsure about the name of your workgroup

or domain, look in the identification tab in your network applet).

■ Use BRAdmin Professional utility (This utility can use the TCP/IP protocol or Netware IPX

protocol - no file server necessary.)

■ Use a Web browser (the print server must have a valid IP address and your computer must also

have a valid IP address); you can configure the IP address by using BRAdmin Professional

utility.

Because of the way that Microsoft networks work, the print server may take several minutes to

appear in the network neighborhood. You will also find that the print server may take several minutes

to disappear from the network neighborhood even if the printer is switched off. This is a feature of

Microsoft workgroup and domain based networks.
