UNIX PRINTING 1 - 1 1 1 Unix Printing Printing from Unix/Linux Using TCP/IP Overview Brother Print/Fax servers are supp lied with the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) prot ocol suite. Since virtually all UNIX host computers support TCP/IP, this capability allows a printer to be shared on a UNIX Ethernet network.
1 - 2 UNIX PRINTING 5 When configuring the PRINT CAP file, pay particular attention to the service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1. TCP/IP Brother Print/Fax servers appear to the ne twork as a UNIX host computer with a unique IP address running the lpd (line printer daemon) protocol.
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 3 The actual format of the entry may vary depending on your system, check your system docum entation and also note the format of other entries in the /etc/hosts file. In any case, the node name in the /etc/hos ts file must match the node name in the /etc/printcap file.
1 - 4 UNIX PRINTING 3 Configure the /etc/printcap file on each host computer to specify the local print queue, the Print/Fax ser ver name (also called remote machine or rm), and the Print/Fax server service name (also called remote printer, remote queue, or rp), and the spool directory.
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 5 %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 simila r status information. Because this procedure varies from system to system, refer to your system documentation for th e exact usage.
