The default username for the router is Admin other routers use Administrator. Actually, itРІР‚в„ўs the username that the Git forgot he uses only a limited range of passwords. The only thing preventing this is the loss of the username & password to administer the router. Of course, the Git could have changed the ip addresses of the router and the six machines to be on the same subnet as the print server. Running setup from the netbook running 32-bit Win7 also failed to persuade the device that, yes, The Git really, really wanted a different ip. Running the setup from one of the two WinXP machines on the network also failed to alter the default ip.

The software accepted the GitРІР‚в„ўs change, but for some odd reason, refused to save the change, reverting to the default. In order to be seen on the subnet 192.168.1.xxx, the ip of the server needed to be changed to 192.168.1.10.

The software setup ran on the 64-bit Win 7 machine, detected the print server on ip 192.168.0.10 and the gateway on 192.168.1.1. The Git set the device up as per the enclosed instructions that, as seems usual these days, are set in tiny type, so needing a magnifying glass to read. The GitРІР‚в„ўs is a TP-Link TL-PS110U and cost all of $AU60. This little device takes input from your switch, or router, and sends it to the printer. A Google search informed me that some HL-2140 users had no problems others solved the problem with a print server. You could browse to the printer in Network Neighbourhood, but printing to the share didnРІР‚в„ўt work. Sharing it across the Windows network didnРІР‚в„ўt work. There was really only one problem that I finally got around to fixing this week.

The HL-2140РІР‚Р†s manual feed is primitive compared to the LaserJet, but has seen little use. While the build quality wasnРІР‚в„ўt up to the standard of the HP, the build quality of the current low-end HP printers isnРІР‚в„ўt up to the standard of the 5P either. It was much faster than its predecessor and has twice the resolution. Despite some misgivings due to memories of unavailable spare parts for Brother printers in the early days of computing (9-pin dot matrix days), the Brother was set up and making a grand job of printing in minutes.
