Brother DCP-6690CW Nice-To-Knows

This hawtoe to document some things about the nice A3 printer, new from brother...

Nicely installed ... but always those firewalls.
Those who created the need for a firewall should be ....

But back to the facts ...

After installation it may be (you may be dammned sure you will have to ... ) required to configure the firewall.
On the Brother support web site there is a document on it in the FAQ.
This document is based on the **-Windows Firewall ...
But you must configure your computer to be open for local area network traffic on the ports 54925 and 137, both for the UDP protocol and duplex ... so in and out ... otherwise configure one for the inward and one for the outbound traffic.

An other problem I am currently looking in to is what makes the pc's on which you installed the Brother software register themselves with the printer. This is a problem that you encounter when you want to scan a document from the DCP to a pc on which the soft was installed.

Keep U posted.
