Adding a Second Brother LPR Port
You do not re-run the install program to add a new Brother LPR port.
Instead, press the
Start
button, select
Settings
, and open the
Printers
window. Click on the icon of the printer that you wish to
configure, select
File
from the menu bar, and then choose
Properties
. Click on the
Details
tab and push the
Add Port
button.
In the
Add Port
dialog, select the
Other
radio button and then
highlight
Brother LPR port
. Click
OK
and enter the port name. The
default port name is BLP1. If you have already used this name, you
will get an error message if you try to use it again, in which case use
BLP2, etc... Once you have specified the port name, click the
OK
button. You will then see the
Port Properties
dialog.
Enter the IP address of the printer that you wish to print to and click
OK
. You should now see the port that you have just created in the
Print to the following port
setting of the printer driver.
