Unix Prin tin g

Printing from Unix/Linux Using TCP/IP

Overview

Brother print servers are supplied with the Transmission Control Protocol/Interne t Proto col (TCP/ IP ) proto col sui te. Since virtual ly al l UNIX host computer s support TCP/IP, th is capabilit y allows a pr inter to be shared on a UNIX Ether net netw ork . As with all proto cols, TCP/IP communi cat ions can proceed conc ur ren tly whi le oth er protocols are active, this means that UNIX, NetWare, Apple, and other compute rs ca n shar e th e sam e Br ot her print serv er over an Ethernet network.

The Linux operati ng sy st em uses the same setup pro ced ures as standard Berkel ey U NI X syst em s. Ref er to this chapter for a typical GUI based Linux i nstal lat i on.

Quick Tips:

The Automatic Private IP Address in g (APIPA) protoc ol automatically assi gns an IP address fro m the ra nge:

169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, you can turn the setti ng 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 Brothe r print ser ver is 192. 0.0.1 92. 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 passwor d fo r Broth er prin t se rvers is access.

1 - 1 UNIX PRINTING

The default name for a Brother print server is usually BRN_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx i s the las t six digi ts of the Ethernet address of the print ser ver ).

When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the service names, BINAR Y_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 resul t, any ho st com put er 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 TC P por ts 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 alloc at io n of an IP addr ess, which can be either automatically assigned using DHCP, BOOTP et c., 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 do cum entation 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 fi le containing the IP ad dress and node name of the devi ce . For example:

192.189.207.3 BRN_310107

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 2

The actual format of the entry ma y var y depending on your syste m , check your system documentation and also note the format of other entries in the /etc/hosts file.

The node name in thi s file does not necessarily nee d 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) , ho w ever , it is good pra ct ice to m ake 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 fi le must matc h the node name in the /etc/printcap file.

Some systems suc h as H P- U X and AI X allow you to enter the IP address as the hos t name w hen setting up the print queu e. If this is the case, you do no t nee d to conf ig ure the ho st s file .

Choose which prin t se rve r service you want to use. There are several types of se rvice s available on Brother print ser ver s. Binary services pass data through unmodified and are therefore required for PCL or PostScript ras te rized grap hi cs pr intou ts . Text services add a car riag e ret ur n at the end of ea ch 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 gra phics.

Choose one of the avai labl e services (a service nam e w ill be used in step 3):

BINARY_P1 Binary data TEXT_P1 Text data (CR added)

You may set up multip le print queues on your UNIX host computer for the sam e pr in t se rve r, 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 U LTRI X, DEC O SF/ 1, and Di gital 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 Sol ar is 2.x x, and other syst em s that do not use the printc ap file should skip to step 4. SCO user's should also skip to step 4 (SCO uses the printcap file, but this file is automa ticall y con figured 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_3 10107 and a service nam e (r p) 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 equi valent 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-compa tibl e UN I X system s can generally use the lpstat or rlpstat com m a n d s to o bta in simi l ar stat us information. Because this procedure varies from system to system, refer to your syst em documentation fo r 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 sys te m , IBM RS/ 600 0 AIX co mp ut er, or Su n 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 (remo te mac hi ne) or IP address, and the local que ue name (spool direct or y) . Ref er to the appr opriate section de pending 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 distributi on, you m ay w i sh to use th e Li nux Pr inte r Sys tem Manager appli cati on on your GUI. To do this, do the follo win g:

From the Linux Printer Sy st em Man ager scr een, click the Add button.

You will now be asked to spe ci fy which Print er type you are using, select the Remote Unix (lpd) Queue option and click OK.

You must now speci fy the rem ot e hos t name, re mo te 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 printe r will use when processing the data. Generally we recommend that you use the name "BIN ARY_P1", however, if you are planning to send text docum ents that do not have a carri age return and a line feed, then use "T EXT_ P 1" .

Select the appropri ate I nput Filter from the list of availabl e printers on your partic ul ar build of Lin ux.

In order to make your settings work, select the Restar t lpd option. As soon as the lpd serve r res tarts, you w ill be able t o send printed documents fro m yo ur se rv er.

Linux Configuration Using CUPS

Many Linux sy stems support Comm on U ni x Printi ng System (CUPS).

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 6

HP-UX Configuration

In the case of HP-UX10.xx, the sam program is used to se t up the remote printer. The ste ps ar e as fo llows:

Exec ute the sam program. Fr om t he list of op t ions , sele ct Printer s and Pl o tte rs.

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 nex t to Remote Printer is on BSD system.

You may accept the def aul t val ues f or the rem ai ni ng items.

Click OK to configure the printer.

You should now be abl e to pri nt usin g the lp-d com m an d w ith th e printer name.

If you are using the HP distr ibute d print ser vi ce, th e conf i gur at ion procedure is slightly different because you are sending the print jobs to a file server, which in tu rn sp ool s the jo b to the pr in t server. You must therefore kn ow th e nam e 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 prin t, use the lp -d command w ith t he logi cal print er nam e.

1 - 7 UNIX PRINTING

Earlier versions of HP - UX use si m ilar pro cedu res to 10.xx users:

Enter sam and select Peripheral Devices and then Add Remote Prin ter (not Networke d p ri n ter).

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

■ Line printer name (user-select abl e) .

■ Remote system name (the print server name; must mat ch

what is in hosts file or use print ser ver IP ad dress).

■ Remote printer queue (Print server binary or text service

name, e.g. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1 ).

■ Remote Printer is on a BSD Syst em (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 select abl e) Host name of Remote Printer (print server name; must match

name in /etc/hosts file or use the print serve r IP ad dre ss) Name of queue on remote printer (print server bi nar y 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/plot ter.

Select manage remote printer subsystem.

Select clien t ser vices.

Select remote print er queues.

Select add a remo te que ue .

Enter the following remot e queue settings:

■ Name of queue to add (user sel ect abl e) .

■ Activate the queue (Yes) .

■ Destination host (print s erver 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. BIN ARY _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 configu rati on:

lpsystem -t bsd prnservername lpadmin -p queue -s prnservername!prnserverservice

accept queue (not required on newe r Solar is systems) enable queue (not required on newe r Solar is systems)

Where queue is the name of the local print queue. prnservername is the name of the print server (m ust match the entry in the /etc/hosts file or IP address). prnserverservice is the print server BINARY_P1 or TEX T_P1

service.

1 - 9 UNIX PRINTING

If this is the first printer configured, you must also use the lpsched command pr ior to the accept command.

As an alternative, you may use Printer Manager in the Admintool utility under OpenWindows. Sele ct Edit, Add, and Add Access to Remote Printer. Then enter the print server name i n 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 print er in ver sion Ver si on 5. x of S CO Uni x, use the SCOADMIN program.

Select Printers and then Print Manager.

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

To eject the printed page, add th e com m and rp=lpaf to the / etc/printcap fil e.

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 10

SCO UNIX requires TCP/IP V1.2 or later to work with Brother print servers. You mus t first conf igure the /etc/hosts and /etc/ printcap files as described in step 2. Then run the sy sadmsh 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 print er 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 De vi ce nam e ( /dev/lp generally works).

Select Hardwired as t he 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 C FG TCP c ommand at your O S/400 prompt t o add the prin t server's TCP/IP addr es s to the AS/ 400 host table.

1 - 11 UNIX PRINTING

Use the following one- l in e OS/400 command to creat e 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 printe r d riv e r name (*HP4 i s recommen ded if in dou bt), and <ipaddress> is the IP address of the print server. No te that th e IP add res s and description mus t be enclosed in sing le qu ot es.

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 pape r, you m ay f ind tha t the pr in te r 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.

Other Systems

Other systems use similar program s to set up print servers. These programs will generally ask for the follow i ng info rm at ion:

Requested information : You should use:

remote printer Binary or Text servic e nam e remote host computer name Any name (mus t mat ch the

name in the printca p file, if any) or in some cases, you may enter the print server IP ad dre ss here

remote host IP addr ess IP address of print serve r.

Technical su ppor t special i st s for th ese co mpanies can usu ally answer configuration questions if you provide them with the equivalent UN IX co nfig ura tion inf orm a tion ( te ll them that th e print server looks like a rem ot e UNIX host computer runni ng 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 automatica lly cr eat e th e spool directory). The lpd spool directory i s 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

TCP/IP Printing

Printing from Windows NT®4.0, Windows® 2000/XP, LAN Server and Warp Server

Overview

Users of Wind ow s NT®4.0 can print direc tly to a network-ready Brother printer using the TCP/IP protocol. Microsoft Windows

4.0 users must ins tall Micr osoft's "TCP/IP prin ting " pr otocol .

Quick Tips:

The Automatic Private IP Address in g (APIPA) protoc ol automatically assigns an IP address from the range:169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If the APIPA prot ocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the prin ter con tr ol panel (if appl icabl e) , the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmi n softwa re or let you r DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

The default passwor d fo r Broth er prin t se rvers is access.

Windows NT®4.0 users must install the "M icros of t TCP/IP printing" protocol (av ai labl e through the control panel applet ).
