Unix Printing

Printing from Unix/Linux Using TCP/IP

Overview

Brother print 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:

The 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, you can turn the setting off by using control panel buttons to access APIPA in the TCP/IP setting of the NETWORK menu. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel, the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

Refer to chapter 10 of this User’s Guide to learn how to configure the IP address on your printer.

The default password for Brother print servers is access.

1 - 1 UNIX PRINTING

The default name for a Brother print server is usually BRN_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the print server).

When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1.

TCP/IP

Brother print 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 servers also support the FTP protocol. This protocol can be used to send print jobs from Unix systems.

The Brother print server is pre-configured to run on a TCP/IP network with a minimum of setup. The only mandatory configuration of the print 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 printer control panel.

For setting the IP address of the print server, refer to the Quick Setup Guide or to chapter 10 of this User’s 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.

Configure the /etc/hosts file on each UNIX host that needs to communicate with the print 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

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 2

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 server (the name that appears on the printer settings 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.

Choose which print server service you want to use. There are several types of services available on Brother print 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 server, each one with a different service name (for example, one queue for binary graphics jobs and one for text jobs).

1 - 3 UNIX PRINTING

Configure the /etc/printcap file on each host computer to specify the local print queue, the print server name (also called remote machine or rm), and the print 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 refer to the SCO UNIX Configuration 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 skip to 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.

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 4

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.

Skip 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.

1 - 5 UNIX PRINTING

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:

From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the Add button.

You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you are using, select the Remote Unix (lpd) Queue option and click OK.

You must now specify the remote host name, remote queue name and the input filter to use.

The 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.

The 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".

Select 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).

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 6

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:

Execute the sam program. From the list of options, select Printers and Plotters.

Select LP Spooler.

Select Printers and Plotters.

Select Actions and then Add Remote Printer/Plotter.

Enter any name as the Printer Name (this will be the name of the print queue).

Enter the IP address of the print server as the Remote System Name.

Enter the desired print server service name as the Remote Printer Name.

Check the box next to Remote Printer is on BSD system.

You may accept the default values for the remaining items.

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 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.

1 - 7 UNIX PRINTING

Earlier versions of HP-UX use similar procedures to 10.xx users:

Enter sam and select Peripheral Devices and then Add Remote Printer (not Networked printer).

Enter the following remote printer settings (the other settings do not matter):

■ Line printer name (user-selectable).

■ Remote system name (the print server name; must match

what is in hosts file or use print 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:

Enter smit and select devices.

Select Printer/Plotter.

Select Print Spooling.

Select Add a Print Queue.

Select Remote.

Enter the following Remote Printer Settings:

Name of queue (user selectable) Host name of Remote Printer (print server name; must match

name in /etc/hosts file or use the print server IP address) Name of queue on remote printer (print server binary or text service name, eg. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1). Type of print spooler. BSD (press the LIST button and choose BSD)

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 8

The procedure for pre-V4.0 systems is as follows.

Enter smit and select devices.

Select printer/plotter.

Select manage remote printer subsystem.

Select client services.

Select remote printer queues.

Select add a remote queue.

Enter the following remote queue settings:

■ Name of queue to add (user selectable).

■ Activate the queue (Yes).

■ Destination host (print server name; must match name in /

etc/hosts file or use the print server IP address)

■ Name of queue on remote printer (print 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 queue. prnservername is the name of the print server (must match the entry in the /etc/hosts file or IP address). prnserverservice is the print server BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1

service.

1 - 9 UNIX PRINTING

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 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.

Select Printers and then Print Manager.

On the menu select Printer and then Add Remote followed by Unix...

Enter the IP address of the print server, and type in the name of the printer that will be used to spool to.

Deselect Use External remote Printing Protocol...

To eject the printed page, add the command rp=lpaf to the / etc/printcap file.

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 10

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:

Select Printers.

Select Configure.

Select Add.

Enter the name of the print queue you entered in the /etc/ printcap file as the Printer name.

Enter anything as the Comment, and Class name.

For the Use printer interface select Existing.

Press 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).

Select Direct as the Connection.

Enter the desired Device name (/dev/lp generally works).

Select Hardwired as the Device.

Select No for the Require banner field.

Older SCO Unix Systems

The Brother print 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 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 server's TCP/IP address to the AS/400 host table.

1 - 11 UNIX PRINTING

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 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 server. Note that the IP address and description must be enclosed in single quotes.

For example:

CRTOUTQ OUTQ(BR1) RMTSYS(*INTNETADR) RMTPRTQ(BINARY_P1) AUTOSTRWTR(1) CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE(*OTHER) MFRTYPMDL(*HP5SI) INTNETADR('10.0.0.200') TEXT('Arnes Printer')

If you are using A4 paper, you may find that the printer page formatting is incorrect (this is probably because your AS/400 system is set to Letter sized paper), to resolve this problem, do the following:

Edit the Host Print Transform source code:

RTVWSCST DEVTYPE(*TRANSFORM) MFRTYPMDL(*HP5SI) SRCMBR(HP5SI) SRCFILE(MYLIB/SRC)

At the paper definition, alter the existing hex codes for Letter Size, 1B 26 6C 02 41 to hex codes for A4 Size, 1B 26 6C 32 36 41.

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 12

Other Systems

Other systems use similar programs to set up print 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 server IP address here

remote host IP address IP address of print 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 server looks like a remote UNIX host computer running the lpd line printer daemon).

If you have not created a spool directory for the Brother print 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:

Overview

Users of Windows NT®4.0 can print directly to a network-ready Brother printer using the TCP/IP protocol. Microsoft Windows

4.0 users must install Microsoft's "TCP/IP printing" protocol. Windows 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.

2000/XP users are able to send print jobs directly to the

Quick Tips:

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range:169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

The default password for Brother print servers is access.

Windows NT®4.0 users must install the "Microsoft TCP/IP printing" protocol (available through the control panel applet).

Windows® 2000/XP users can print using TCP/IP using the standard Network Printing software and IPP protocol software built into any Windows information, see Windows

In order for this function to work, you must correctly change the domain name or workgroup name to match that of your network. Once this is done, the print server will appear automatically in your network neighborhood and you will be able to send print documents to it without having to install additional software. However, in some instances you may find that your Windows Windows NT

4.0 systems may receive "Printer is busy" error messages when more than one person attempts to access the printer. In this instance Brother has provided the "Brother NetBIOS Port Monitor" software which allows users to continue spooling print jobs while the printer is busy, down or out of paper. The port monitor will hold the jobs until the printer is again available.

95/98/Me is WORKGROUP, however you could change this to anything you want. With Windows NT

4.0, Microsoft introduced the concept of "Domains". A domain offers centralized security management whereas a workgroup offers distributed security management. The print server does not care if your network consists of a Workgroup or a Domain, the only thing you must tell it is the name of the workgroup or domain. The Brother print server automatically has a default workgroup/domain name of WORKGROUP. If you need to change name, you can configure the Brother print server to recognize this. There are four ways of doing this. (If you are unsure about the name of your workgroup or domain, look in the identification tab in your network applet).

■ Use BRAdmin (This utility can use the TCP/IP protocol or NetWare

IPX protocol - no file server necessary.)

■ Use a Web browser (the print server must have a valid IP address

and your computer must also have a valid IP address); you can configure the IP address by using BRAdmin.

■ TELNET, again your computer and printer must have a valid IP

address.

■ Use BRCONFIG for DOS (this utility requires a NetWare file server

and the IPX protocol).

Because of the way that Microsoft networks work, the print server may take several minutes to appear in the network neighborhood. You will also find that the print server may take several minutes to disappear from the network neighborhood even if the printer is switched off.

Changing the Workgroup/Domain Name Using TELNET or BRCONFIG or a Web Browser

If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application, you can use TELNET, a web browser or the BRCONFIG Remote console program (BRCONFIG requires the IPX/SPX protocol to be installed on your PC).

When you are connected to the print server, enter the default password access in response to the # prompt. Type in anything in response to the Enter Username> prompt, you will then be at the Local> prompt.

Now enter the command:

SET NETBIOS DOMAIN domainname EXIT

Where domainname is the name of the domain or workgroup that you are on. If you are not sure what your domain name or workgroup name is, look in the Identification tab in your Windows and Windows NT

4.0 network applet.

2000 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 server and that the client PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Brother Internet Print General Information

The BIP software is installed using a standard Windows® 95/98/Me/ 2000/XP and Windows NT port on the Windows

4.0 Installation Wizard. It creates a virtual

95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 PC that operates in a similar way to the standard LPT1 printer port from the application program point of view. The user can use the Windows to create a printer that uses this port along with a standard Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT Windows

4.0 compatible printer. Any

program can therefore print to this printer (and hence to the virtual port) without modification or operational procedure.

When a job is printed to the BIP virtual port, it is actually MIMEencoded (converted to a standard Internet E-mail message) and sent out to a Brother print server at the remote location. This means that BIP is compatible with most common E-mail software packages. The only requirement is that the E-mail server be capable of sending Email message over the Internet.

In more detail, the procedure works in the following way:

■ If you are connected to a Local Area Network, the E-mail message

is passed to the E-mail server, which in turn transmits the message out over the Internet using the SMTP protocol (simple mail transport protocol) to the remote print server.

■ If you are connecting via a modem directly to an Internet Service

Provider (ISP), the ISP handles the routing of the E-mail to the remote print server.

CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS® 5 - 2

■ At the remote site, an E-mail server receives the E-mail message.

The remote print server, which has its own E-mail address, uses the POP3 protocol (Post Office Protocol 3) to download the E-mail message from the e-mail server. It then decodes the attachment and prints it out on the printer.

If an E-mail is received that has not been configured to use the BIP virtual port driver, the printer will print the E-mail out as a text document.

Brother Internet Print: Configuring the Brother Print Server

The print server can be configured using BRAdmin, by using a web browser, or by using the TELNET command.

Print Server Configuration Checklist

Before configuring the print server to receive BIP jobs, be sure that the E-mail server at the remote site (the receiving end) is configured to handle the TCP/IP POP3, and SMTP protocols (SMTP is only required if the notification feature is enabled).

Configure the POP3 server on the E-mail server at the remote site with a mail account (Mailbox name) and password for the Brother print server (generally, the mail account name will be the first part of the E-mail address; for example, if you assign the E-mail address emailprinter@xyz.com, then the mail account name would be emailprinter).

Make sure that the print server is installed and running with TCP/IP enabled and has a valid IP address assigned to it.

Because access to the E-mail server on most networks is usually restricted, you may need to have your network administrator check the configuration and add the mail account.

Brother Internet Print: Using BRAdmin to Configure the Print Server

Skip this section if you wish to use the print server remote console or Web Browser to configure the print server.

Using the BRAdmin Professional utility, you can configure the Brother print server using the TCP/IP protocol, or the IPX protocol.

The steps required to configure the print server to receive print jobs from a Windows running the BIP software is as follows:

Start BRAdmin.

Select the node name of the desired Brother print server from the list and double click on it. (the default node name is usually BRN_xxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address)). You will be prompted for a password; the default password is access.

You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the printer settings page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print the settings page on your print server.

Click on the POP3/SMTP tab.

Enter the address of the POP3 server (consult your network administrator if you do not know this address).

95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 PC

Enter the mailbox name for the remote Brother print server. Usually this will be the first part of the E-mail address (for example, if the E-mail address of the print server is

emailprinter@xyz, then the mailbox name would be emailprinter).

Enter the password for the mailbox, if any.

CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS® 5 - 4

The print server is configured by default to poll the POP3 server every 30 seconds. You may change this value, if desired.

If you have enabled notification, enter the address of your SMTP server (consult your network administrator if you do not know this address).

Click the OK button and save the changes. Now exit the BRAdmin application. You have now configured the print server to receive print jobs.

Brother Internet Print: Using a Web Browser to Configure the Print Server

Connect to the print server IP address using your web browser.

When you reach the network configuration screen, you will be prompted for a password. The default password is "access".

Select the Configure POP3/SMTP option and enter the information as described above. Refer to "Brother Internet Print: Using a Web Browser to Configure the Print Server".

You should see a Segmented Message Timeout option. If a print job is separated into multiple E-mail messages using the Partial E-mail Print feature of the BIP, this value indicates how long the print server will wait for all of the segments of the message to arrive.

5 - 5 CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS

Brother Internet Print: Using TELNET to Configure the Print Server

Skip this section if you used BRAdmin or a Web Browser to configure the remote print server.

As an alternative to BRAdmin, you can use the print server remote console to configure the print server. The console can be accessed via TELNET. When you access the print server using these utilities, you will be asked for a password. The default password is access.

When you get the Local> prompt after connecting to the console, enter the command:

SET POP3 ADDRESS address

where ipaddress is the address of your POP3 server (consult with your network administrator if you do not know this address).

Enter the command:

SET POP3 NAME mailboxname SET POP3 PASSWORD emailpassword

where mailboxname is the name of the remote print server mailbox and emailpassword is the password associated with this mailbox. Usually the mailbox name is the same as the first part of the E-mail address that you defined previously (for example, usually if the E-mail address is emailprinter@xyz.com, then the mailbox name is emailprinter).

The print server is set by default to poll the POP3 server every 30 seconds. If you wish to change this value, enter the command:

Novell NetWare Printing

How to Configure Novell NetWare Printing

Overview

Brother print servers allow NetWare client PCs to print jobs on the same printer as TCP/IP or other network protocol users. All NetWare jobs are spooled through the Novell server and delivered to the printer when it is available.

Quick Tips:

If you create a NDPS Printer for Netware 5, you have to configure the IP address of the print server in advance. The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range:

169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is

192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

The default password for Brother print servers is access.

6 - 1 NOVELL NETWARE PRINTING

General Information

In order to use a Brother print server on a NetWare network, one or more file servers must be configured with a print queue that the print server can service. Users send their print requests to the file server's print queue, and the jobs are then spooled (either directly, or in the case of remote printer mode, via an intermediate NetWare print server) to the appropriate Brother print server.

The system administrator can create Bindery (NetWare 3), NDS (NetWare 3 and NetWare 4) based queues in a single environment without having to switch between applications by using the BRAdmin application.

NetWare 5 users wishing to configure an NDPS printer must use the NWADMIN application supplied with NetWare 5. Please note that it is possible to create IPX BINDERY or NDS based queues on a NetWare 5 system using the BRAdmin application.

You must install the Novell NetWare Client 32 if you wish to create queue information on your NetWare servers using the BRAdmin application.

If you can't use the BRAdmin application in your environment, you can create the queue using the traditional NetWare PCONSOLE utility or NWADMIN utilities, but you will then also need to use the Brother BRCONFIG utility, TELNET or a WWW browser to configure the print server.

Brother print servers can service up to 16 file servers and 32 queues.

NOVELL NETWARE PRINTING 6 - 2

Creating a NDPS Printer Using NWADMIN for NetWare5

With NetWare 5, Novell has released a new preferred printing system called Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS). Before the print server can be configured, NDPS must be installed on the NetWare 5 server and an NDPS Manager configured on the server.

For further information regarding NDPS printers and printing, see the Other Sources of Information section at the end of this chapter.

NDPS Manager

This creates a NDPS manager that interacts with services running at the server and manages an unlimited number of printer agents.

You have to create an NDPS manager within an NDS tree before creating server-based printer agents. If the NDPS manager controls a printer attached directly to the server, you must load the manager on the server that the printer is attached to.

In NetWare administrator, navigate to the area you want the NDPS manager to reside. Select Object | Create | NDPS Manager and click OK.

Enter an NDPS manager name.

Browse to a server (which has NDPS installed but no NDPS manager installed) where you want to install the NDPS manager and then to the volume you want the NDPS manager database assigned to. Click create.

Guide for

Configuring DLC on Other Systems

To use DLC on other network systems, you will generally need vendor-supplied software. Typically such software will support the Brother print servers. Follow the vendor's instructions to install the DLC protocol on your system.

Once the protocol is installed, create a network port in the same way that you did for Windows NT address (Ethernet address) of the print server should automatically appear during the configuration process.

The final step is to create a printer using the normal operating system printer setup method. The only difference is that instead of connecting the printer to the LPT1 parallel port, you point it to the network port you just created.

Brother does not recommend using the DLC protocol with

Windows

for Workgroups 3.11 in a peer-to-peer configuration if the printer will be heavily used. This is because jobs may be rejected due to print spooler timeouts. The best solution in these situations is to set up one PC as a server for handling network print jobs. All of the other PCs send their print jobs to the server PC using NetBEUI or TCP/ IP, and the server PC then uses DLC to send the print jobs to the Brother print server.
