1 - 1 UNIX PRINTING 1 1 Unix Printing Printing from Unix/Linux Using TCP/IP Overview Brother print servers are suppli ed with the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. Si nce virtually all UNIX host computers support TCP/IP, th is capability allows a printer to be shared on a UNIX Ethernet netwo rk.
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 2 4 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). 5 When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1.
1 - 3 UNIX PRINTING The actual format of the entry ma y vary depending on your system, check your system doc umentation and also note the format of other entries in the /etc/hosts file. In any case, the node name in the /etc/hosts file must match the node name in the /etc/printcap file.
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 4 3 Configure the /etc/printcap file on each host computer to specify the local prin t queue, the print server name (also called remote machine or rm), and the pr int server service name (also called remote printer, remote queue, or rp), and the spool directory.
1 - 5 UNIX PRINTING %lpc status laser1: queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries no daemon present Users of AT&T-compatible UNI X systems can generally use the lpstat or rlpstat commands to obtain similar status information. Because this proc edure varies from system to system, refer to your system documentation for the exact usage.
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 6 Linux Configuration If you do not wish to use the comm and 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: 1 From the Linux Printer Syst em Manager scree n, click the Add button.
1 - 7 UNIX PRINTING 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: 1 Execute the sam program. From the list of options, select Printers and Plotters . 2 Select LP Spooler .
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 8 Earlier versions of HP-UX use si milar procedures to 10.xx users: 1 Enter sam and select Peripheral Devices and then Add Remote Printer (not Networked printer) . 2 Enter the following remote printe r settings (the other settings do not matter): ■ Line printer name (user-selectable).
1 - 9 UNIX PRINTING The procedure for pre-V4.0 systems is as follows. 1 Enter smit and select devices . 2 Select printer/plotter . 3 Select manage remote printer subsystem . 4 Select client services . 5 Select remote printer queues . 6 Select add a remote queue .
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 10 If this is the first printer c onfigured, 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 .
1 - 11 UNIX PRINTING 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 follows: 1 Select Printers . 2 Select Configure .
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 12 Use the following one-line OS/ 400 command to create the LPD queue: CRTOUTQ OUTQ(<queuename> RMSTSYS (*INTNETADR) RMT PRTQ(<service>) AUTOSTRWTR(1) CNNTYPE(*IP) DES TT.
1 - 13 UNIX PRINTING OS/400 version 4, 5, 5.1 You can also use the following command line to create a printer definition: CRTDEVPRT DEVD(B R2) DEVCLS(*LA N) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1) LANATTA CH(*IP) PORT(9100 ) FONT(011) PARITY(*NONE) STOPBITS(1) T RANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*HP5SI) PPR SRC1(*A4) PP RSRC2(*A4) RMTLOCNAME('10.

9 - 1 WEB BASED MANAGEMENT 9 9 Web Based Management How to use a Web Browser to Manage Your Device Overview A standard Web Browser (we re commend Netscape Navigator version 4.0 or later/Microsoft Inter net Explorer version 5.0 or later) can be used to manage your printer using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol).
WEB BASED MANAGEMENT 9 - 2 4 You can use a web browser on mo st computing platforms, for example, Macintosh ® and Unix users are also able to connect to the printer and manage it. 5 You can also use the BRAdmin application to manage the printer and its network configuration.
10 - 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 10 10 TCP/IP Configuration Assigning TCP/IP Information Overview The TCP/IP protocol requires that each device on the network have it's own unique IP address. Use the following information to learn about IP address configuration.
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 10 - 2 These configuration methods are descr ibed in the foll owing paragraphs. Using the Printer Control Panel to Allocate an IP Address (Printers with LCD Panels Only) Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for details on how to configure IP address information using the prin ter control panel.
10 - 3 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using BRAdmin and the IPX/SPX Protocol to Set the IP Address If your PC is using the Novell Ne tWare Client software and is using the IPX/SPX protocol , do the following: 1 Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main window.
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 10 - 4 Using BRAdmin and the TCP/IP Protocol to Set the IP Address If your PC is using the TCP/ IP protocol, do the following: 1 Select TCP/IP filter in the left frame of the main window. 2 Select the Device menu and choose the Search Active Devices .
10 - 5 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using DHCP to Configure the IP Address The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP addr ess allocation. If you have DHCP Server in your network (typ ically a Unix/Linux, Windows NT ® 4.
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 10 - 6 Using ARP to Configure the Print Server IP Address If you are unable to use the BRAd min application or the printer’s control panel and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the ARP command. T he ARP command is available on Windows ® systems that have TCP/IP in stalled as well as Unix systems.
10 - 7 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION T You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the print serv er and operating system) to use the arp -s command. If there is a rout er, you may use BOOT P or other methods described in this chapter to enter the IP address.
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 10 - 8 Using RARP to Configure the IP Address The Brother print server’s IP addr ess can be configured using the Reverse ARP (rarp) facility on your host computer.
10 - 9 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using BOOTP to Configure the IP Address BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway.
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 10 - 10 Certain BOOTP host software impl ementations will not respond to BOOTP requests if you have not included a download filename in the configuration file; if this is the case , simply create a null file on the host and specify the name of this file and its path in the c onfiguration file.
10 - 11 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION If you do not have any subnets, us e one of the following default subnet masks: 255.255.255.0 for class C networks 255.255.0.0 for class B networks 255.0.0.0 for class A networks The leftmost group of digits in y our IP address can identify the type of network you have.
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 10 - 12 You will then get the Local> prompt. Type SET IP ADDRESS ipaddress , where ipaddress is the desired IP address you wish to assign to the print server (chec k with your network manager for the IP address to us e). For example: Local> SET IP ADD RESS 192.

TROUBLESHOOTING 11 - 1 11 11 Troubleshooting Overview This chapter describes procedures for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with a Brother prin t server, it is divided into the following se.
11 - 2 TROUBLESHOOTING 2 If the configuration page prints but you c annot print documents, try the following a If you are using TCP/IP: Try pinging the print server fr om the host oper ating system co.
TROUBLESHOOTING 11 - 3 3 If you cannot make any of the connections in step 2, check the following: a Make sure the printer is powered on and on-line. b Check the cabling, network connection, and print out a configuration page in the Networ k STATISTICS information to see if bytes are being transmitted and received.
