Windows® 2000/XP, Windows Vista® and Windows Server 2003 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 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 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 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 to use Port 80 to communicate with the Brother print server.
