Am confused about my new network capable printer. Don't know how to put it naked on my W2KproSP4 client based LAN. No. I do not have a domain server. No I do not have a "print server" operating from some client. I thought I did not have to do this.
I do notice, after a period of time, the there is a new 'something' called Brn_8388c0 that pops up in NetNeighborhood under "workgroup." I suspect this may be the assigned name of the printer. Am I correct? Because I use the 10.0.0.x IP series on my LAN, I did use the Brother NetAdmin tool to change the new /workgroup/ objects ip addy from its' default 169.x.x.x addy to 10.0.0.2/255.255.255.0. That took. Now, do I just go back to my lan clients and install this new /workgroup/Brn_8388c0/ device as the chosen Network Printer? Will I have to install the printer's drivers to each client PC? I realize this may read very pedestrian, but I've never had a true net printer before. Yes, I've RTFM, and several other Brother pdf's regarding other admin sw packages. Still a bit confused, but the printer work great on the usb channel to one of my lan clients ATM. Thanks, Duncan This email scanned for Viruses and Spam by ZCloud.net
