Windows® 2000/XP, Windows Vista® and Windows Server® 2003/2008 IPP troubleshooting
I want to use a different Port number other than 631.
If you are using Port 631 for IPP printing, you may find that your Firewall may not let the print data through. If this is the case, use a different port number (port 80), or configure your Firewall to allow Port 631 data through.
To send a print job using IPP to a printer using Port 80 (the standard HTTP port) enter the following when configuring your Windows® 2000/XP, Windows Vista® and Windows Server® 2003/2008 system.
http://ipaddress/ipp/
The “Go to printer’s Web site” option in Windows® XP and Windows Vista® is not working. The “Get More Info” option in Windows® 2000 and Windows Server® 2003/2008 is not working.
If you are using a URL of:
http://ipaddress:631/ or http://ipaddress:631/ipp/
the Get More Info option in Windows® 2000/XP, Windows Vista® and Windows Server® 2003/2008 will not function. If you wish to use the Get More Info option, use the following URL:
http://ipaddress/
This will then force Windows® 2000/XP, Windows Vista® and Windows Server® 2003/2008 to use Port 80 to communicate with the Brother print server.
