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

Printers and Plotters.
2
Select LP Spooler.
3
Select Printers and Plotters.
4

You 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 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.
4
Select Add a Print Queue.
5
Select Remote.
6
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)

n Name of queue on remote printer (print server binary or
text service name, eg. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1).
n Name of device to add (user selectable; for example lp0).
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 9
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.

printcap files as described in step 2. Then run the sysadmsh
program as follows:
1
Select Printers.
2
Select Configure.
3
Select Add.
4
Enter the name of the print queue you entered in the /etc/
printcap file as the Printer name.

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:
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 13
CRTDEVPRT DEVD(BR2) DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(3812)

RMTLOCNAME('10.0.0.200') SYSDRVPGM(*HPPJLDRV)

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
1 - 14 UNIX PRINTING
command as shown in the following example:
lpc start laser1
