Adding a second Brother LPR port
You do not need to re-run the install program to add a new Brother LPR port. Instead, go to the Start button,
select Settings, and open the Printers window. Click the icon of the printer that you wish to configure, select
File from the menu bar, and then Properties. Click the Ports tab and then the Add Port button. In the Printer
Ports dialog, highlight Brother LPR Port. Click the New Port button 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 OK. You will then see the Port
Settings dialog.
Enter the IP address of the printer that you wish to print to and click OK. And then click Close in the Printer
Ports dialog. You should now see the port that you have just created in the Print to the following port(s)
setting of the printer driver.
