Does the printer still show in network neighborhood?
Well it did not before, because I disabled the "NETBIOS/IP" protocol.
I have now re-Enabled this protocol at the printer via my HTTP connection.
I now again have the "BRN-mac addy-" icon in my network neighborhood AGAIN.
I step forward.............. :)
Perhaps the master browser got reset in the power outage?
Perhaps? But, I still do not know how to find 'WHO' the Master Browser is.
I have read each thread about this 'mb' business and still do not know
how to
push it about; much less repair it when glitched!
Self test still works from the printer so we know nothing got damaged in the
power outage?
Well, it does seem so; except that now WinXP does not recognize the
printer's print
server.
I would so like to believe the Brother internal Print Server is sadly
confused ATM. I can NOT
prove-troubleshoot this........... :(
The printer speaks to me via HTTP (on my OFC client) and seems to give me
complete access to its' innards. Yes, from my client's browser HTTP
connection to the
printer I seem to be able to fully admin the printer and print server. I
have only changed
the printer's IP addy, and re-enabled the "NETBIOS/IP" protocol so far.
As mentioned prior, I am still thinking about a Factory Reset.
As mentioned prior, I am still thinking about a F/W Update/Reload.
Rhetorical: Why do Printers still cause so much grief?
ATM, I copy the mail. This printer is only 2 months old; so, it remains
under the Brother
warranty..........
HTH,
