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:

1

The default IP address of Brother print servers is

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

2

Refer to chapter 12 of this user guide to learn how to c onfigure
the IP address on your printer.

3

The default password for Brother print servers is access.

4

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).

5

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

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 1

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 or the printer control
panel (if applicable).

For setting the IP address of the print server, refer to the
Quick Setup Guide or to chapter 12 of this user guide.

1 - 2 UNIX PRINTING

General TCP/IP UNIX Host Configuration

The configuration process for most UNIX systems is described in the
following steps. As this proc ess varies, we recommend that you refer
to your system documentation for additional information.

1

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

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
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.

2

Choose which print server service you want to use. There are
several types of services avail able 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.

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 3

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).

3

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 section 3-a.
SCO user's should also skip to section 3a (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:

1 - 4 UNIX PRINTING

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.

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.

4

Skip this section if you have completed Step 3, unless you have
an SCO UNIX system.

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 5

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.

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:

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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.

5

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".

6

Select the appropriate Input Filter from the li st 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.

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:

1

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

2

Select LP Spooler.

3

Select Printers and Plotters.

4

Select Actions and then Add Remote Printer/Plotter.

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

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.

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 7

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

1

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

2

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

n Line printer name (user-selectable).
n Remote system name (the print server name; must match

what is in hosts file or use print server IP address).

n Remote printer queue (Printserver binary or text service

name, e.g. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1).

n 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:

1

Enter smit and select devices.

2

Select Printer/Plotter.

3

Select Print Spooling.

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.
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.

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.

DEC TCP/IP Servers for VMS(UCX)

You need to run the sys$system:ucx:$lprsetup command,
specify a printer name, and then enter the print server IP address as
the remote system name. Specify one of the print server services
(see beginning of this section for options) as the remote system
printer name. Accept the defaults for other questions.

TGV's Multinet

TGV's Multinet requires you to run the MULTINET CONFIGURE /
PRINTERS command, then use the ADD command to add a printer,

specifying the print server IP address, a protocol type of LPD, and
one of the service options described at the beginning of this chapter
as the remote print queue.

Wollongong's PATHWAY

First make sure that you have the Access option with lpd enabled.
Then enter the print server name and IP address in the
TWG$TCP:[NETDIST.ETC]HOSTS file, run the LPGEN program,
and execute the command: add queue/
rmachine=prnservername/rprinter=prnserverservice,
where queue is the name of the queue, prnservername is the print
server name from the hosts file, and prnserverservice is the
print server service name.

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)

1 - 12 UNIX PRINTING

Use the CFGTCP command at your OS/400 prompt to add the print
server's TCP/IP address to the AS/400 host table.

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.
OS/400 version 4, 5, 5.1

You can also use the following command line to create a printer
definition:

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:

LAN Server, OS/2 Warp Server Configuration

Brother print servers will work with IBM LAN Server, OS/2 Warp
Server networks that have IBM TCP/IP V2.0 or later installed on the
file server (TCP/IP is supplied as standard with LAN Server V4.0 and
later as well as Warp Server). Use the following procedure to
configure the print server on an LAN Server or OS/2 Warp Server file
server, or on an OS/2 Warp Connect workstation:

Warp Connect or LAN Server). This problem is fixed via a
patch available from IBM.

You will get the Settings window. Enter the following:

LPD server The Brother print server name (from the

HOSTS file) or its IP address.

LPD printer For most applications, use the Brother print

server 'binary' service BINARY_P1. However,
if you are printing text files from the DOS or
OS/2 command prompt, you should use the
text service TEXT_P1, which wi ll add carriage
returns for proper formatting of the data (but

will potentially distort graphics printouts).

How to Print in a Windows® 95/98/Me Peer to Peer network

Overview

Microsoft's Windows® 95/98/Me operating systems feature built-in
networking capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows
be configured as a client workstation in a file server based network
environment.

For smaller networks, Windows
operate in a peer-to-peer mode. In this mode, the PC can share
resources with other PCs on the network without the need for a
central file server.

Quick Tips:

1

The default IP address of Brother print servers is

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

How to Print using NetBIOS in Windows® 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP, LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server

Overview

Brother print server range supports SMB (Server Message Block)
over the TCP/IP protocol via the NetBIOS interface. This means that
just like regular Windows
network neighborhood. The main advantage of NetBIOS printing is
that you are able to print from legacy DOS applications that are
running on PC's that are connected to Microsoft networks.

Quick Tips:

The default IP address of Brother print servers is

192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel, the
BRAdmin application, or let your DHCP server allocate an IP
address to the printer

2

Refer to chapter 12 of this user guide to learn how to c onfigure
the IP address on your printer.

3

The default password for Brother print servers is access.

4

The default domain name of the print server is WORKGROUP, to
change it use your web browser or the BRAdmin application.

NETBIOS PEER TO PEER PRINTING 4 - 1

Print Server Configuration

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 addition al so ftware.
However, in some instances you may find that your Windows
Me and Windows

®

NT4.0/2000/XP 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 you are asked which

®

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

®

NT, 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 aut omatically 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).

n Use BRAdmin (This utility can use the TCP/IP protocol or Netware

IPX protocol - no file server necessary.)

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

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

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

address.

n Use BRCONFIG for DOS (this utility requires a Netware file server

and the IPX protocol).

NETBIOS PEER TO PEER PRINTING 4 - 2

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. This is a
feature of Microsoft workgroup and domain based networks.

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 inst alled
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

4.0 network applet.
You can also use a standard WWW browser to change the NetBIOS

name. To do this, connect to the print server using its IP address and
then select the Configure NetBIOS option from the Network
Configuration screen, then enter your workgroup/domain name
into the Domain Name text box. Make sure you submit the changes
(click on the Submit button).

BIP is compatible with most common E-mail soft ware packages. The

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

n 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.

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

Provider (ISP), the ISP handles the routi ng of the E-mai l to the
remote print server.

n 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.

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).

1

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 wil l be
the first part of the Email address; for example, if you assign the
Email address [e-mail], then the mail account
name would be emailprinter).

2

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.

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

3

Click on the POP3/SMTP tab.

Novell NetWare Printing

How to configure Novell NetWare Pri nting

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:

1

The default IP address of Brother print servers is

192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel, the
BRAdmin application, or let your DHCP server allocate an IP
address to the printer.

2

The default password for Brother print servers is access.

NOVELL NETWARE PRINTING 6 - 1

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 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 as described later in this chapter.

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
please refer to 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.

1

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

2

Enter an NDPS manager name.

3

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.

NDPS Broker

When NDPS is installed, an NDPS broker is loaded onto the network.
One of the Broker services Resource Management Service allows
Printer Drivers to be installed onto the server for use with Printer
Agents.

To add a Printer Driver to the Broker:

4

Make sure the Resource Management Service is enabled.

version 1 with NetWare 4.x, only 3.1x and 95/98/Me options will
be available. NDPS version 2 for NetWare 4.x will support NT
drivers automatic download.

TCP/IP Printing

Printing From a Macintosh

Overview

Brother print servers support the AppleTalk protocol running over
Ethernet (also known as EtherTalk). This allows Macintosh users to
print at the same time as all other Ethernet network using the
AppleTalk (also referred to as EtherTalk) protocol.

With the release of System 8.6 or later, Apple introduced a TCP/IP
printing capability. This allows Macintosh users to send print jo bs
using the TCP/IP protocol.

The default name that will appear in the Chooser of a
Macintosh will usually be BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT (where
xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the Ethernet address)

From a Macintosh network, the easiest way to change this name
is to assign an IP address to the printer and then use a Web
browser to change the name. Connect to the printer using a web

The default IP address of Brother print servers is

192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control
panel, the BRAdmin application, or let your DHCP server
allocate an IP address to the printer.

Macintosh Configuration (OS 8.5 - 9.2)

Your Brother Printer is compatible with the standard Apple LaserWriter
8 printer driver (earlier versions of the LaserWriter drivers may crash
or cause PostScript errors on large networks). If you do not have the
LaserWriter 8 driver you must install it. Consult your Macintosh
documentation for instructions on how to do this.

Before you try to use the Br other print server, you must first enable
the EtherTalk protocol from the Network Control Panel on the
Macintosh. If the EtherTalk protocol is not selected, or the Network

Control Panel does not exist, you must use Apple's Network
Installer software to add these capabilities.

The appropriate PPD file supplied with your printer must first be
installed. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your

computer. Select the Start Her e icon, select your language and
follow the on-screen instructions for Install Software.
