1 1Unix Printing
Printing from Unix/Linux Using TCP/IP
Overview
Brother Print/Fax servers are supplied with the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. Since virtually all UNIX host computers support TCP/IP, this capability allows a printer to be shared on a UNIX Ethernet network. As with all protocols, TCP/IP communications can proceed concurrently while other protocols are active, this means that UNIX, NetWare, Apple, and other computers can share the same Brother print server over an Ethernet network.
The Linux operating system uses the same setup procedures as standard Berkeley UNIX systems. Refer to this chapter for a typical GUI based Linux installation.
Quick Tips:
1The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using the machine control panel. For more information, see APIPA on page 10-9. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control panel, the BRAdmin Professional utility, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the machine.
2To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see Chapter 11 of this User’s Guide.
3The default password for Brother Print/Fax servers is access.
4The default name for a Brother Print/Fax server is usually BRN_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the Print/Fax server).
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 1
5When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1.
TCP/IP
Brother Print/Fax servers appear to the network as a UNIX host computer with a unique IP address running the lpd (line printer daemon) protocol. As a result, any host computer that supports the Berkeley remote LPR command can spool jobs to Brother print servers without the need for any special software on the host computer. For special applications, raw TCP ports are also available.
Brother Print/Fax servers also support the FTP protocol. This protocol can be used to send print jobs from Unix systems.
The Brother Print/Fax server is pre-configured to run on a TCP/IP network with a minimum of setup. The only mandatory configuration of the Print/Fax server is the allocation of an IP address, which can be either automatically assigned using DHCP, BOOTP etc., or manually assigned using the ARP command, BRAdmin Professional utility, or the machine control panel.
For setting the IP address of the Print/Fax server, see Chapter 11 of this User’s Guide or the Quick Setup Guide
General TCP/IP UNIX Host Configuration
The configuration process for most UNIX systems is described in the following steps. As this process varies, we recommend that you refer to your system documentation for additional information.
1Configure the /etc/hosts file on each UNIX host that needs to communicate with the Print/Fax server. Use your favorite editor to add an entry to the /etc/hosts file containing the IP address and node name of the device. For example:
192.189.207.3 BRN_310107
1 - 2 UNIX PRINTING
The actual format of the entry may vary depending on your system, check your system documentation and also note the format of other entries in the /etc/hosts file.
The node name in this file does not necessarily need to be the same as the one that is actually configured into the Brother Print/Fax server (the name that appears on the printer configuration page), however, it is good practice to make the names the same. Some operating systems, such as HP-UX, do not accept the “_” character in the default name, for these systems you must use a different name).
In any case, the node name in the /etc/hosts file must match the node name in the /etc/printcap file.
Some systems such as HP-UX and AIX allow you to enter the IP address as the host name when setting up the print queue. If this is the case, you do not need to configure the hosts file.
2Choose which Print/Fax server service you want to use. There are several types of services available on Brother Print/Fax servers. Binary services pass data through unmodified and are therefore required for PCL or PostScript rasterized graphics printouts. Text services add a carriage return at the end of each line for proper formatting of UNIX text files (which end in linefeed and do not have carriage returns). The text service can also be used for non-rasterized graphics, such as ASCII PostScript graphics or many types of PCL graphics.
Choose one of the available services (a service name will be used in step 3):
BINARY_P1 Binary data TEXT_P1 Text data (CR added)
You may set up multiple print queues on your UNIX host computer for the same Print/Fax server, each one with a different service name (for example, one queue for binary graphics jobs and one for text jobs).
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 3
3Configure the /etc/printcap file on each host computer to specify the local print queue, the Print/Fax server name (also called remote machine or rm), and the Print/Fax server service name (also called remote printer, remote queue, or rp), and the spool directory.
This step applies to the majority of UNIX systems, including Linux, Sun OS (but not Solaris 2.xx), Silicon Graphics (lpr/lpd option required), DEC ULTRIX, DEC OSF/1, and Digital UNIX. SCO UNIX users should follow these steps, but should also see SCO UNIX Configuration on page 1-10 section. Users of RS/6000 AIX, HP-UX, Sun Solaris 2.xx, and other systems that do not use the printcap file should skip to Step 4. SCO user's should also skipto Step 4 (SCO uses the printcap file, but this file is automatically configured via the rlpconf command).
An example of a typical printcap file:
laser1|Printer on Floor 1:\ :lp=:\
:rm=BRN_310107:\ :rp=TEXT_P1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/laser1:
Make sure this information is added to the end of the printcap file. Also make sure that the last character in the printcap file is a colon “:”.
This will create a queue named laser1 on the host computer that communicates to a Brother print server with a node name (rm) of BRN_310107 and a service name (rp) of TEXT_P1 printing text files to a Brother printer through spool directory /usr/spool/lpd/laser1. If you are printing binary graphics files, you would use the service BINARY_P1 instead of TEXT_P1.
1 - 4 UNIX PRINTING
The rm and rp options are not available on some UNIX systems, so if necessary check your documentation to determine the equivalent options.
Users of Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems can use the lpc command to obtain the printer status:
%lpc status laser1:
queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries
no daemon present
Users of AT&T-compatible UNIX systems can generally use the lpstat or rlpstat commands to obtain similar status information. Because this procedure varies from system to system, refer to your system documentation for the exact usage.
4Skip this section if you have completed Step 3, unless you have an SCO UNIX system.
If you have an HP-UX system, IBM RS/6000 AIX computer, or Sun Solaris 2.xx, there is no printcap file. This is also true for some other AT&T-based UNIX systems, as well as many VMS-based TCP/IP software packages (for example, UCX, TGV Multinet, etc.). On SCO systems, there is a printcap file, but it is automatically configured by the rlpconf command. Most of these systems generally use a printer setup program to define the service name (remote printer), the print server name (remote machine) or IP address, and the local queue name (spool directory). Refer to the appropriate section depending on your version of Unix.
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 5
Linux Configuration
If you do not wish to use the command line interface to configure your Linux distribution, you may wish to use the Linux Printer System Manager application on your GUI. To do this, do the following:
1From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the Add button.
2You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you are using, select the Remote Unix (lpd) Queue option and click
OK.
3You must now specify the remote host name, remote queue name and the input filter to use.
4The Remote Host name is the IP address of the printer, or the name from the hosts file which corresponds to the IP address of the printer.
5The Remote Queue name is the service name that the printer will use when processing the data. Generally we recommend that you use the name “BINARY_P1”, however, if you are planning to send text documents that do not have a carriage return and a line feed, then use “TEXT_P1”.
6Select the appropriate Input Filter from the list of available printers on your particular build of Linux.
In order to make your settings work, select the Restart lpd option. As soon as the lpd server restarts, you will be able to send printed documents from your server.
Linux Configuration Using CUPS
Many Linux systems support Common Unix Printing System (CUPS).
1 - 6 UNIX PRINTING
HP-UX Configuration
In the case of HP-UX10.xx, the sam program is used to set up the remote printer. The steps are as follows:
1Execute the sam program. From the list of options, select
Printers and Plotters.
2Select LP Spooler.
3Select Printers and Plotters.
4Select Actions and then Add Remote Printer/Plotter.
5Enter any name as the Printer Name (this will be the name of the print queue).
6Enter the IP address of the Print/Fax server as the Remote System Name.
7Enter the desired Print/Fax server service name as the Remote Printer Name.
8Check the box next to Remote Printer is on BSD system.
9You may accept the default values for the remaining items.
10 Click OK to configure the printer.
You should now be able to print using the lp-d command with the printer name.
If you are using the HP distributed print service, the configuration procedure is slightly different because you are sending the print jobs to a file server, which in turn spools the job to the Print/Fax server. You must therefore know the name of the file server (spooler host) in addition to the above information. You will add a physical and a remote printer, and then assign a logical printer to the remote printer (a unique name that does not match any other name). To print, use the lp -d command with the logical printer name.
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 7
Earlier versions of HP-UX use similar procedures to 10.xx users:
1Enter sam and select Peripheral Devices and then Add Remote Printer (not Networked printer).
2Enter the following remote printer settings (the other settings do not matter):
■Line printer name (user-selectable).
■Remote system name (the Print/Fax server name; must match what is in hosts file or use Print/Fax server IP address).
■Remote printer queue (Print server binary or text service name, e.g. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1).
■Remote Printer is on a BSD System (Yes).
IBM RS/6000 AIX Configuration
The RS/6000 AIX operating system uses the smit program to set up the remote printer. The procedure is as follows for AIX 4.0 and later:
1Enter smit and select devices.
2Select Printer/Plotter.
3Select Print Spooling.
4Select Add a Print Queue.
5Select Remote.
6Enter the following Remote Printer Settings:
Name of queue (user selectable)
Host name of Remote Printer (Print/Fax server name; must match name in /etc/hosts file or use the print server IP address)
Name of queue on remote printer (Print/Fax server binary or text service name, eg. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1).
Type of print spooler. BSD (press the LIST button and choose BSD)
1 - 8 UNIX PRINTING
The procedure for pre-V4.0 systems is as follows.
1Enter smit and select devices.
2Select printer/plotter.
3Select manage remote printer subsystem.
4Select client services.
5Select remote printer queues.
6Select add a remote queue.
7Enter the following remote queue settings:
■Name of queue to add (user selectable).
■Activate the queue (Yes).
■Destination host (Print/Fax server name; must match name in /etc/hosts file or use the Print/Fax server IP address)
■Name of queue on remote printer (Print/Fax server binary or text service name, eg. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1).
■Name of device to add (user selectable; for example lp0).
Sun Solaris 2.x Configuration
Sun Solaris 2.x uses the lpsystem and lpadmin programs for remote printer configuration:
lpsystem -t bsd prnservername
lpadmin -p queue -s prnservername!prnserverservice accept queue (not required on newer Solaris systems) enable queue (not required on newer Solaris systems)
Where queue is the name of the local Print/Fax queue. prnservername is the name of the Print/Fax server (must match the entry in the /etc/hosts file or IP address). prnserverservice is the print server BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1 service.
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 9
If this is the first printer configured, you must also use the lpsched command prior to the accept command.
As an alternative, you may use Printer Manager in the Admintool utility under OpenWindows. Select Edit, Add, and Add Access to Remote Printer. Then enter the Print/Fax server name in the format prnservername!\prnserverservice as described above. Make sure that the printer server OS is set to BSD (the default setting), and click Add.
Note that we recommend that you use the /etc/hosts file for the printer name rather than NIS or other name services. Also note that due to a bug in the Sun lpd implementation on Solaris 2.4 and earlier releases, you may experience problems printing very long print jobs. If this is the case, a workaround is to use the raw TCP port software as described later in this chapter.
SCO UNIX Configuration
To configure a printer in version Version 5.x of SCO Unix, use the SCOADMIN program.
1Select Printers and then Print Manager.
2On the menu select Printer and then Add Remote followed by
Unix...
3Enter the IP address of the Print/Fax server, and type in the name of the printer that will be used to spool to.
4Deselect Use External remote Printing Protocol...
5To eject the printed page, add the command rp=lpaf to the
/etc/printcap file.
1 - 10 UNIX PRINTING
SCO UNIX requires TCP/IP V1.2 or later to work with Brother print servers. You must first configure the /etc/hosts and /etc/printcap files as described in step 2. Then run the sysadmsh program as follows:
1Select Printers.
2Select Configure.
3Select Add.
4Enter the name of the print queue you entered in the /etc/printcap file as the Printer name.
5Enter anything as the Comment, and Class name.
6For the Use printer interface select Existing.
7Press the F3 key to get a list of available interfaces, and select the desired one as the Name of interface using the cursor keys (Dumb is a good choice).
8Select Direct as the Connection.
9Enter the desired Device name (/dev/lp generally works).
10Select Hardwired as the Device.
11Select No for the Require banner field.
Older SCO Unix Systems
The Brother NC-9100h Print/Fax servers support the FTP protocol. Earlier SCO Unix systems are often configured to print using the FTP protocol.
IBM AS/400
To use a Brother Print/Fax server with an IBM AS/400 running IBM's TCP/IP gateways services for OS/400 (the OS/400 system must be v3.1 or later)
Use the CFGTCP command at your OS/400 prompt to add the Print/ Fax server's TCP/IP address to the AS/400 host table.
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 11
Use the following one-line OS/400 command to create the LPD queue:
CRTOUTQ OUTQ(<queuename> RMSTSYS
(*INTNETADR) RMTPRTQ(<service>) AUTOSTRWTR(1) CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE (*OTHER) MFRTYPMDL (<driver>) INTNETADR('<ipaddress>') TEXT ('<description>')
where <queuename> is the new AS/400 print queue name, <service> is the Print/Fax server service name (BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1) <driver> is the OS/400 printer driver name (*HP4 is recommended if in doubt), and <ipaddress> is the IP address of the Print/Fax server. Note that the IP address and description must be enclosed in single quotes.
Other Systems
Other systems use similar programs to set up Print/Fax servers. These programs will generally ask for the following information:
Requested information: |
You should use: |
|
|
remote printer |
Binary or Text service name |
|
|
remote host computer name |
Any name (must match the |
|
name in the printcap file, if any) |
|
or in some cases, you may enter |
|
the Print/Fax server IP address |
|
here |
|
|
remote host IP address |
IP address of Print/Fax server. |
|
|
Technical support specialists for these companies can usually answer configuration questions if you provide them with the equivalent UNIX configuration information (tell them that the Print/ Fax server looks like a remote UNIX host computer running the lpd line printer daemon).
1 - 12 UNIX PRINTING
If you have not created a spool directory for the Brother Print/Fax server on your UNIX host computer, you will need to do so now (the printer setup utilities in HP/UX, AIX, Solaris 2.xx, and other systems will automatically create the spool directory). The lpd spool directory is usually located in the /usr/spool directory (check with your system manager to see if the location is different for your system). To create a new spool directory, use the mkdir command. For example, to create a spool directory for the queue laser1, you would enter:
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/laser1
On some systems it is also necessary to start the daemon. This is done on Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems with the lpc start command as shown in the following example:
lpc start laser1

2 2TCP/IP Printing
Printing from Windows NT® 4.0, Windows® 2000/XP, LAN Server and Warp Server
Overview
Users of Windows NT® 4.0 can print directly to a network-ready Brother machine using the TCP/IP protocol. Microsoft Windows NT® 4.0 users must install Microsoft’s “TCP/IP Printing“ protocol. Windows® 2000/XP users are able to send print jobs directly to the printer without installing any additional software. Brother's print server also supports transparent printing from IBM LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server file servers, as well as from OS/2 Warp Connect workstations using the TCP/IP protocol.
Quick Tips:
1The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using the machine control panel. For more information, see APIPA on page 10-9. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control panel, the BRAdmin Professional utility, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the machine.
2The default password for Brother Print/Fax servers is access.
3Windows NT® 4.0 users must install the Microsoft “TCP/IP Printing“ protocol.
4Windows® 2000/XP users can print using TCP/IP using the
standard Network Printing software and IPP protocol software built into any Windows® 2000/XP installation.
2 - 1 TCP/IP PRINTING
5Windows® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via a Windows® 2000/XP computer provided that the Microsoft Internet Print Services software is installed on the
client PC, Internet Information Server (IIS) is installed and running on the Windows® 2000/XP computer and that the client
PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft Internet Explorer. For more information, see Windows® 2000/XP IPP Printing on page 5-9.
6The default name for a Brother Print/Fax server is usually BRN_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the Print/Fax server).
Windows NT® 4.0 and Windows® 2000/XP (TCP/IP)
Configuration
If you have not already done so, install the TCP/IP protocol onto your Windows NT® 4.0 system. This is done via the Network icon in the Control Panel window of the Windows NT® 4.0 system (use the Start button on Windows NT® 4.0 to access the Settings/Control Panel menu). The default configuration of Windows® 2000/XP automatically installs the TCP/IP protocol. Refer to the appropriate section in this chapter for more information.
Windows® 2000/XP Printing (Printer Driver not yet installed)
By default, Windows® 2000/XP systems install with all the necessary software required for you to be able to print. This chapter describes the two most commonly used configurations, Standard TCP/IP Port printing and IPP (Internet Printing Protocol). If you have already installed the printer driver, jump to the printer driver already installed section.
Standard TCP/IP Port Printing
1From the Printers folder select Add Printer. The Add Printer Wizard will now start. Click on Next.
2Now select the Local Printer option and deselect the
Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer option.

3Click on Next.
4You must now select the correct Network printing port. Select
Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port port from the pull-down window.
5When you have done that click Next.
6The Add Standard TCP/IP Port Wizard will now appear. Click the Next button.
7Enter the IP address, or name of the printer you wish to configure. The Wizard will automatically enter the Port name information for you.
8Click the Next button.
9Windows® 2000/XP will now contact the printer that you specified. If you did not specify the correct IP address or name then you will receive an error message.
10Click the Finish button to complete the Wizard.
11Now that you have configured the port, you must specify which printer driver you wish to use. Select the appropriate driver from the list of supported printers. If you are using a driver supplied with the machine on CD-ROM then select the Have Disk option to browse to the CD-ROM. You can also click the Windows Update button to connect directly to Microsoft's support Web site to download printer drivers.
12When the driver is installed, click the Next button.
13Specify a name and click the Next button.
14Now specify if you wish to share the printer, enter the share name and click Next.
15Continue through the Wizard clicking the Finish button when complete.
2 - 3 TCP/IP PRINTING
Windows® 2000/XP Printing (Printer Driver already installed)
If you have already installed the printer driver and wish to configure it for network printing, follow these steps:
1Select the printer driver you wish to configure.
2Select File and then choose Properties.
3Click the Ports tab of the driver and click Add Port.
4Select the port that you wish to use. Typically this would be
Standard TCP/IP Port. Then click the New Port... button.
5The standard TCP/IP Port Wizard will start. Follow the Step 6 to 10 in the Standard TCP/IP Port Printing section.
Windows NT® 4.0 Printing
If you did not install the TCP/IP protocol during the installation of your Windows NT® 4.0 system (either workstation or server) follow these steps. If you have already installed the TCP/IP protocol, proceed to the next section.
1Go to the Start button, choose Settings, and then select
Control Panel.
2Run the Network applet by double clicking the Network icon and then click on the Protocols tab.
3Select Add, and double click on the TCP/IP Protocol.
4Insert the requested disk(s), or CD-ROM, to copy the required files.
5Click the Close button. The Windows NT® 4.0 system will review protocol bindings and then you will see the TCP/IP Properties dialog.
