Unix® Printing

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 printer to be shared on a UNIX protocols, TCP/IP communications can proceed concurrently while other protocols are active, this means that UNIX other computers can share the same Brother print server over an Ethernet network.

host computers support TCP/IP, this capability allows a

Ethernet network. As with all

, NetWare®, Apple®, and

The Linux operating system uses the same setup procedures as standard Berkeley UNIX GUI based Linux installation.

Quick Tips:

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range:

169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, you can turn the setting 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 Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. 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 9 of this User’s Guide to learn how to configure the IP address on your printer.

The default password for Brother print servers is access.

systems. Refer to this chapter for a typical

1 - 1 UNIX® PRINTING

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).

When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the service names, BINARY_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 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

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 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 9 of this User’s Guide.

systems.

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 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 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 Network Configuration Page), however, it is good practice to make the names the same. See How to Print a Network Configuration Page on page A-8 for information how to print the Network Configuration Page on your print server. (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.

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

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 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).

text files (which end in linefeed and

host

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 should also refer to the SCO UNIX

. SCO UNIX® users should follow these steps, but

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 step

4. SCO user's should also skip to step 4 (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:

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.

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 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.

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-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

1 - 5 UNIX® PRINTING

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:

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

You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you 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 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 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".

Select the appropriate Input Filter from the list 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.

Linux Configuration Using CUPS

Many Linux systems support Common UNIX® Printing System (CUPS).

For more detailed information on Linux printing visit the Brother Solutions web site at: http://solutions.brother.com

UNIX® PRINTING 1 - 6

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:

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 (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 next to Remote Printer is on BSD system.

You may accept the default values 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 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.

1 - 7 UNIX® PRINTING

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

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

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

■ Line printer name (user-selectable).

■ Remote system name (the print server name; must match

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

■ Remote printer queue (Print server binary or text service

name, e.g. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_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 Queue.

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 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/plotter.

Select manage remote printer subsystem.

Select client services.

Select remote printer queues.

Select add a remote queue.

Enter the following remote queue settings:

■ Name of queue to add (user selectable).

■ Activate the queue (Yes).

■ Destination host (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).

■ 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 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.

1 - 9 UNIX® PRINTING

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.

SCO UNIX® Configuration

To configure a printer in version Version 5.x of SCO UNIX®, use the SCOADMIN program.

Select Printers and then Print Manager.

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

Enter the IP address of the print server, and type in the name of the printer that will be used to spool to.

Deselect Use External remote Printing Protocol...

To eject the printed page, add the command rp=lpaf to the / etc/printcap file.

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

1 - 11 UNIX® PRINTING

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.

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 server looks like a remote UNIX

configuration information (tell them that the print

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 command as shown in the following example:

TCP/IP Printing

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

Overview

Users of Windows NT®4.0 can print directly to a network-ready Brother printer using the TCP/IP protocol. Microsoft Windows

4.0 users must install Microsoft's "TCP/IP printing" protocol. Windows printer without installing any additional software. Brother's print server also supports transparent printing from IBM LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server file servers, as well as from OS/2 Warp Connect workstations using the TCP/IP protocol.

2000/XP users are able to send print jobs directly to the

Quick Tips:

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range:169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

The default password for Brother print servers is access.

Windows NT®4.0 users must install the "Microsoft TCP/IP printing" protocol (available through the control panel applet).

Windows® 2000/XP users can print using TCP/IP using the standard Network Printing software and IPP protocol software built into any Windows information, see Windows

2000/XP installation. For more
