You should be able to add the IP of the printer as a local port and they
will print to it. You'll need to load the drivers on each PC.
Here is someone's walkthrough. Obviously, load your correct printer driver.

Note: the procedure is the same for Win2k and XP.

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
