Unix Printing

Printing from Unix/Linux Using TCP/IP

Overview

Brother print servers a re s upplied with the T ransmission C ontrol Protocol /Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suit e. Since virtually all UNIX host computers support TCP/IP, this capability allows a printer to be share d on a UNIX Eth ernet network . As w ith all protocols, TCP/IP com munications can proceed concurr ently while oth er protocol s a re active, this means that UNI X, NetWare , A pple, and other computers can s hare the same Brother print se rv er over an Ethernet net w ork.

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 Aut om atic Private IP Addressing (A PI PA) protoco l automatically assigns an IP address from the range:

169.254.1.0 to 169. 254.254.25 5. If y ou want to disa ble the APIPA protocol, you c an t urn the settin g of f by us ing control panel buttons to access APIPA in the TCP/IP setting of the NETWORK menu. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP addres s of a Brother print se rv er is 192.0.0. 192. To change it, use the prin ter co ntrol panel, th e BRAdmin Pr ofes sional , Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address t o th e printer. You ca n also disable API PA using the control panel from more information refer to Chapter 4 of the printer U s er' s Guide.

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

The defa ult password fo r Brother print se rv ers is access.

1 - 1 UNIX PRINTING

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

When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the servic e names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P 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 applicati ons, raw TCP ports are also av ailable.

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 minim um of setup. T he only manda t ory c onfiguratio n of th e print server is the allocat ion of an IP add res s , wh ic h c an be either automatically assigned using DHCP, BOOTP etc., or manually assigned using the ARP command, BRAdmin Professional utility, or the printe r co nt rol 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 syst ems is described i n 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 documentat i on and also no te the fo r mat of o th er 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 c onfigured int o th e Brother print server (t he name that appears on th e printer settings page), however, it is good practice to make the names the same. Some operating systems, such as HP-UX, do not ac cept t he "_" chara cte r in th e defa ult na me, f or the se 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, yo u do not need to configure the hos t s fi le.

Choos e w hic h print server s ervice you wa nt to us e. T here are several types of services available on Brother print servers. Binary services pass data through unmodified and are therefore require d f or PCL or PostSc ript rasteriz ed graphics pr int outs. Text services add a carriage return at the end of each line for proper for m at t ing of UNIX tex t files (which end in linefeed and do not have carriage returns) . The text service can al so be used for non-rasterized graphics, such as ASCII PostScript graphics or many ty pes of PCL graphic s .

Choos e one of the available services (a service name will be used in step 3):

BINARY_P1 Binary dat a TEXT_P 1 Text data (CR ad ded)

You may set up multiple print queues on your UNIX host computer for th e s am e print se rver, each one with a diff erent 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 remot e ma chi ne or r m), an d th e pri nt ser ve r s erv ic e nam e (a l so called rem ote printer, remote queue, or rp), and the s pool directory.

This step applies to the majority of UNIX systems, including Linux, Sun OS (but not Sol aris 2.x x), Si licon Gr aphi cs (lpr/l pd 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. Us ers of RS/6000 AIX, HP-UX, Sun Solaris 2.xx, and other systems that do n ot us e t he printcap file s hould skip to s te p 4. SCO user' s sho ul d al so s ki p to step 4 (S CO us es th e pr int c ap f il e, 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 l ast charact er in the pri ntcap file is a colo n ": ".

This will create a queue named laser1 on the host computer that com m unicates to a Brother pr int se rv er with a node name (rm ) of BRN_310107 and a service name (rp ) of TEXT_P 1 print ing text fi les t o a Brot her pr int er thr oug h spoo l directory /usr/spool/lpd/laser1. If you are printing binary graphics files, you would use the service BINARY_P1 instea d of T EXT_P1.

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 4

The rm a nd rp options ar e not available on some UNIX systems, so if necessary check your documentation to determ ine the equiva lent options.

Users of Berkeley-compati ble UNIX syste ms can use th e 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-ba s ed UNIX system s , as w ell 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 ge nerally use a prin ter setup program to define the service name (remote printer), the print server na m e (remote mac hine) or IP address, and the loc al 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 m ay wish to use t he Linux Print er System Manager application on your GUI. To do this, do the fo llow ing:

From the Linux Printe r Sy s t em M anager scr een, click the Add button.

You will now be asked t o s pecify which Printer type yo u 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 filt er t o us e.

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 proces si ng t he data. Gen erally we recom m end that you us e the name "B INARY_P1", however, if you are planning to send text documents that do not have a carriage return and a line feed, the n use "TEXT_P 1".

Select the appropria t e Input Filter from the list of available printers on y our particul ar build of Linux .

In order to make your settings work, select the Restart lpd option. As soon as t he lpd server re s ta rt s , you will be able to send printed documents from your server.

Linux C onfigur ation 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 pr int er. 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 (t his will be the name of the print queue).

Enter t he I P ad dr es s of t he pr i nt serv er a s t he Remote S ys t em Name.

Enter th e desired print se rv er s ervice name as the Remote Printer Name.

Check th e box next to R e mote Printer is on BSD system.

You may ac c ept the default v alues 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 nam e.

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 serv er, w hic h in turn spoo ls th e job to the print se rv er. You must ther ef ore know the name of the file se rv er (s pooler host) in addition t o th e above infor m at ion. You will ad d 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 comm and with the logical print er name.

1 - 7 UNIX PRINTING

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

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

Enter the following remote printe r settings (the other sett ings do not matter):

■ Line printer name (user-sele cta ble).

■ Remot e system na me (the print server name; must match

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

■ Remote printer queue (Print server b inary or text serv ic e

name, e.g. BI N ARY_P1 or T EXT_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 Qu eu e.

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 tex t service name, eg. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1 ). Type of print spooler. BSD (pres s the L IST b utton and ch oose BSD)

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 8

The proce dure for pre-V4.0 system s is as f ollows.

Enter smit and select devices.

Select printer/plotter.

Select manage remote printer subsystem.

Select cl i ent services.

Select remote printer queues.

Select add a remote queue.

Enter th e fo llowing remo t e queue settings:

■ Name of queue to add (user selectable).

■ Activa te th e queue (Yes ).

■ Destination host (pr i nt se r ver nam e; must ma tch na me i n /

etc/hosts file or use th e print server IP address)

■ Name of queue on remote printer (print serve r binary or

text servic e name, eg. BINARY_P1 or T EXT_P1).

■ Name of device to add (user selectable; for example lp0).

Sun Solaris 2.x Configuration

Sun Solaris 2.x uses the lpsystem a nd lpadmin programs fo r remote printer co nf iguration:

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 th e local print que ue. prnservername is the name of the print server (must match the entry in the /etc/hosts file or I P 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 prio r to the accept command.

As an alter nat iv e, you may use Printer Ma nager in the Adm intool utility under OpenWindows. Selec t 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 rec ommend that y ou 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 c hapter.

SCO UNIX Configuration

To configure a printer in v ers ion Version 5.x of SCO Unix , us e t he SCOAD M IN program.

Select Printers and then Print Manager.

On the m enu se lect Printer and then Add Remote followed by Unix...

Enter the IP address of the prin t server, and type i n the name o f the printer that will be used to spool to.

Deselect Use External remote Printing Protocol...

To eject t he printed page, add the com m and rp=lpaf to the / etc/printcap fi le.

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 f ollows:

Select Printers.

Select Configure.

Select Add.

Enter th e name of the print queue you ent ered in the /etc/ printcap file as the Printer name.

Enter anything as the Comment, and Class n ame.

For the Use printer interface select Existing.

Press the F 3 ke y to ge t a list of available interfa c es , and s elect the desired one as the Name of interface using the cursor keys (Dumb is a good choi ce ).

Select Direct as the Connection.

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

Select Hardwired as the Device.

Select No for the Require banner field.

Older SC O U n i x Systems

The Brother print servers support the FTP protocol. Earlier SCO Unix systems are often config ured 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.

Use the fol low ing one-line OS/400 comm and to create t he 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 se rv er service nam e (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 incorre ct (thi s is probably because your A S/400 syste m is set to Letter sized paper), to resolve this problem, do the following:

Edit the Host Prin t T r an sform source code:

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

At the pape r definition, alt er the existing hex c odes for Letter Size, 1B 26 6C 02 41 to hex codes fo r A4 Size, 1B 26 6C 32 36 41.

Other Systems

Other systems use similar programs to set up print servers. These programs w ill generally as k fo r th e f ollowing inform at ion:

Requested information: You should use:

remote printer Binary or Text servic e name remote hos t c om puter name Any nam e (must matc h t he

name in t he printcap file, if any ) or in some cases, you may enter the print server IP address here

remote hos t I P address IP address of print serv er.

Technical support specialists for these companies can usually answer configuratio n questions if you provide th em w it h t he equivalent UNIX conf iguration info rm ation (tell them t hat the print server looks like a remote UNIX host computer running the lpd line printer daemon).

If you have not cr eated a spool dire c to ry fo r the Brot her print server on your UNIX host computer, you will need to do so now (the printer setup utilit ies in HP-UX, AI X, Solaris 2.xx, and other syste m s will automatic ally create th e s pool director y ). The lpd spool directory is usually lo ca t ed in the /usr/spool directory (check with your system manager to see if the locat ion is dif ferent fo r your syst em). To create a ne w sp ool directory, us e t he mkdir command. For examp le, t o cr eat e a sp oo l di r ect or y fo r the queu e l as er1 , you wou l d 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 t he f ollowing exa m ple:

If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brot her print server is 192.0.0. 192. To change it , us e t he printer control panel (if app lic able), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

The defa ult password fo r Brother print se rv ers is access.
