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

Page 11

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

Page 12

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

Page 13

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

Page 14

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.

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

Page 16

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

Page 17

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

Page 18

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

Page 19

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

Page 20

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.

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.

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 c an configur e th e Brother print s erv er to recogni ze th is . There are four ways of doing this. (If you are unsure about the name of your work group or domain, look in the identificat ion tab in your network applet).

IPX proto c ol - no file server necessary.)

95/98/Me/2000/XP and Window s NT®4.0 Print Manager to create a printer that uses this port along with a standard Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Window s NT Windows

95/98/Me/2000/XP and Window s NT®4.0 applic at ions

4.0 compatible printe r. Any

program can therefore print to this printer (and hence to the virtual port) without modifica ti on 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 tha t the E-mail server be capable of se nding Email mess age over the Int ernet.

In more de ta il, th e procedure w ork s 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 remot e print server.

■ If you are connecti ng via a modem directly to an In t ernet Service

Provider (I SP), the ISP handles the ro ut ing of the E-mail to the remote print server.

CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS® 5 - 2

Page 50

■ At th e remote si te, an E- mail server receives the E-mail messa ge.

The remo t e print server, which has its own E-mail address, uses the POP 3 pro tocol (Po st Of fice P roto col 3 ) to do wnlo ad th e E-ma il message from the e-mail server. It then decodes the attachment and prints it out on the printer.

If an E-mail is received t hat has not been configur ed t o 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 us ing BRAdmi n, by us ing a web browser, or by using the TELNET command.

Print Server Config ur ati on Check list

Before c onfiguring th e print server to rec eive 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 protoc ols (S M T P is only required if t he noti ficat ion featur e is enabled).

Config ure the POP3 s erv er on the E-ma il s erver at the remot e site with a mail account (Mailbox name) and password for the Brother print server (generally, the mail account name will be the fi rst par t of the E-mail address ; for ex ample, if you as sign th e E-mail address emailprinter@xyz.com, then the mail account name would be emailprinter).

Make sure that the print s erv er is installed and running w it h TCP/IP enabled and h as a v alid IP addres s as s igned 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 a ccount.

169.254.1.0 to 169. 254.254.25 5. If t he APIPA prot oc ol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is

192.0.0 . 192. To change it, use the pri nt er c ontrol panel (if applicable), 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.

General Information

In order to use a Brot her print serv er on a NetW are ne t work, one or more file servers must be configured with a print queue that the print serv er ca n ser vice. User s send thei r pr int reque sts t o th e fi le se rver 's print queue, and the jobs are then spooled (either directly, or in the case of remote pr inter m ode, via an i nterm ediat e print server) t o the appropri at e Brother print se rv er.

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

NetWare 5 users wishing to configure an NDPS printer must use the NWADM IN applicatio n s upplied with NetWare 5. Please note that it is possible t o c reate IPX BIN D ER Y or NDS based queues on a NetWare 5 system using the BRAdmin application.

You must ins t all the Novell N et W are Client 32 if you wish to crea t e queue information on yo ur NetWare se rv ers using the BR Admin application.

If you can't use the BRAdmin application in your environment, you can create t he queue using the traditional NetWare PCONSO LE utility or NWADMIN utilit ies, but you will t hen also need t o use the Brother BRCONFIG utility, TELNET or a WWW browser to configur e the print server as described later in this chapter.

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

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 ins ta lled on the NetWare 5 server and an NDPS Manager configured on the server.

For further information regarding NDPS printers and printing, see the Other Sourc es of Informat ion 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 prin te r 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 print er is attached to .

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

Enter an NDPS manager name.

Browse to a s erv er (which has N D PS 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 assign ed t o. C lic k create.

Configuring DLC on Other Sys tems

To use DLC on other network systems, you will generally need vendor-s upplied softw are. Typical ly su c h s of t w are will suppor t the Brother print servers. F ollow the vendor's instructions to install th e 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 du ring the configuration proc ess.

The final step is to create a printer using the normal operating system printer se tu p m et hod. The on ly dif fe rence is that in stead of connecting the printe r to th e LPT1 parallel port , y ou point it to the network port you just created.
