1 Unix Printing 1 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 host computers support TCP/IP, this capability allows a printer to be shared on a UNIX Ethernet network.
PAGE 13
5 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.
PAGE 14
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 printer configuration page), however, it is good practice to make the names the same.
PAGE 15
3 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.
PAGE 16
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.
PAGE 17
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: 1 From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the Add button. 2 You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you are using, select the Remote Unix (lpd) Queue option and click OK. 3 You must now specify the remote host name, remote queue name and the input filter to use.
PAGE 18
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. 3 Select Printers and Plotters. 4 Select Actions and then Add Remote Printer/Plotter. 5 Enter any name as the Printer Name (this will be the name of the print queue). 6 Enter the IP address of the print server as the Remote System Name.
PAGE 19
Earlier versions of HP/UX use similar 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 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).
PAGE 20
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. 7 Enter the following remote queue settings: ■ Name of queue to add (user selectable). ■ Activate the queue (Yes).
PAGE 21
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.
PAGE 22
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. 3 Select Add. 4 Enter the name of the print queue you entered in the /etc/ printcap file as the Printer name. 5 Enter anything as the Comment, and Class name. 6 For the Use printer interface select Existing.
PAGE 23
Use the following one-line OS/400 command to create the LPD queue: CRTOUTQ OUTQ( RMSTSYS (*INTNETADR) RMTPRTQ() AUTOSTRWTR(1) CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE (*OTHER) MFRTYPMDL () INTNETADR('') TEXT ('') where is the new AS/400 print queue name, is the print server service name (BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1) is the OS/400 printer driver name (*HP4 is recommended if in doubt), and is the IP address of the print server.
PAGE 24
OS/400 version 4, 5, 5.1 You can also use the following command line to create a printer definition: CRTDEVPRT DEVD(BR2) DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1) LANATTACH(*IP) PORT(9100) FONT(011) PARITY(*NONE) STOPBITS(1) TRANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*HP5SI) PPRSRC1(*A4) PPRSRC2(*A4) RMTLOCNAME('10.0.0.200') SYSDRVPGM(*HPPJLDRV) TEXT('Arnes Printer') Other Systems Other systems use similar programs to set up print servers.
PAGE 25
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.

5 Configuring Internet Printing for Windows® 5 Internet Printing Installation Overview Brother's Brother Internet Print (BIP) software, for Windows® 95/98/ Me/NT4.0, allows a PC user at one location to send a print job to a Brother Printer at a remote location via the Internet. For example, a user on a PC in New York could print a document directly from his Microsoft Excel application program to a printer in Paris.
PAGE 54
5 Windows® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via Windows® 2000 computer, provided that the Microsoft Internet Print Services software is installed on the client PC, Internet Information Server (IIS) is installed and running on the server and that the client PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft Internet Explorer. Brother Internet Print General Information The BIP software is installed using a standard Windows® 95/98/Me/ NT4.0/2000/XP Installation Wizard.
PAGE 55
■ At the remote site, an E-mail server receives the E-mail message. The remote print server, which has its own E-mail address, uses the POP3 protocol (Post Office Protocol 3) to download the E-mail message from the e-mail server. It then decodes the attachment and prints it out on the printer. If an E-mail is received that has not been configured to use the BIP virtual port driver, the printer will print the E-mail out as a text document.
PAGE 56
Brother Internet Print Using BRAdmin to Configure the Print Server Skip this section if you wish to use the print server remote console or Web Browser to configure the print server. Using the BRAdmin application, you can configure the Brother print server using the TCP/IP protocol, or the IPX protocol.

6 Novell NetWare Printing 6 How to configure Novell NetWare Printing Overview Brother print servers allow NetWare client PCs to print jobs on the same printer as TCP/IP or other network protocol users. All NetWare jobs are spooled through the Novell server and delivered to the printer when it is available. Quick Tips: 1 The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.
PAGE 66
General Information In order to use a Brother print server on a NetWare network, one or more file servers must be configured with a print queue that the print server can service. Users send their print requests to the file server's print queue, and the jobs are then spooled (either directly, or in the case of remote printer mode, via an intermediate print server) to the appropriate Brother print server.

7 AppleTalk (EtherTalk) TCP/IP Printing 7 Printing From a Macintosh Overview Brother print servers support the AppleTalk protocol running over Ethernet (also known as EtherTalk). This allows Macintosh users to print at the same time as all other Ethernet network using the AppleTalk (also referred to as EtherTalk) protocol. With the release of System 8.6 or later, Apple introduced a TCP/IP printing capability. This allows Macintosh users to send print jobs using the TCP/IP protocol.
PAGE 88
Quick Tips: 1 The default name that will appear in the Chooser of a Macintosh will usually be BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT (where xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the Ethernet address) 2 From a Macintosh network, the easiest way to change this name is to assign an IP address to the printer and then use a Web browser to change the name. Connect to the printer using a web browser and then click on Network Configuration. Enter the password (the default password is access) then select Configure AppleTalk.
PAGE 89

8 DLC Printing 8 Printing from Windows® NT or Windows® 2000 Overview DLC is a simple protocol that is included in Windows NT® and Windows® 2000 as standard. It can be used on other operating systems (such as Windows® 3.x) with the addition of vendor-supplied software that supports the Hewlett-Packard JetDirect card. Quick Tips: 1 One way to print the details of all network settings is to print a configuration page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print the configuration page.
PAGE 98
3 Select DLC Protocol and then OK or Add if using Windows® 2000. You may be asked for the location of the files. For Intel based computers, the necessary files are stored in the i386 directory of the Windows® NT CD-ROM. If you have a non-Intel platform, specify the correct directory on your Windows® NT CD-ROM. Click Continue (for NT 3.5x systems) or Close (for NT 4.0 systems). 4 Reboot your system to make the change take effect. Windows® 2000 should not require a re-boot.
PAGE 99
9 The selected print server address will then appear in the smaller box under Card Address. 10 Type in any desired name for the port (the name must not be the name of an existing port or DOS device, such as LPT1) and click OK then on the Printer Ports screen, click Next. 11 Select the correct driver click Next. 12 Give a name to the printer and specify if you wish to be able to print from DOS application. Then click Next. 13 Specify the share name (if you are going to share the printer).
PAGE 100
5 A list of available print server MAC addresses (Ethernet addresses) appears in the larger box under Card Address. Select the address of the desired print server (you can see the Ethernet address on the printer configuration page). You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the printer configuration page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print the configuration page on your print server.
PAGE 101
6 Click on Hewlett-Packard Network Port. 7 Type in your desired name for the port (this name must not be an existing port or DOS device, such as LPT1). 8 The MAC addresses (Ethernet addresses) of available print servers will appear in the Card Address menu. Select the desired address (You can see the Ethernet address on the printer configuration page). You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the printer configuration page.
PAGE 102
The final step is to create a printer using the normal operating system printer setup method. The only difference is that instead of connecting the printer to the LPT1 parallel port, you point it to the network port you just created. Brother does not recommend using the DLC protocol with Windows® for Workgroups 3.11 in a peer-to-peer configuration if the printer will be heavily used. This is because jobs may be rejected due to print spooler timeouts.
PAGE 103
9 Web Based Management 9 How to use a Web Browser to manage your Device Overview A standard Web Browser (we recommend Netscape Navigator version 4.0 or later/Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later) can be used to manage your printer using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). You can get the following information from a printer on your network using a web browser: 1 Printer status information. 2 Take control of the printer’s control panel.
PAGE 104
3 The default password for Brother print servers is access. 4 You can use a web browser on most 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.
PAGE 105
10 TCP/IP Configuration 10 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. 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, see Chapter 3 "Network factory default setting" on page 3-11 of the User's Guide.
PAGE 106
■ Other SNMP based management utility. These configuration methods are described in the following paragraphs. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host computers. If it is not, you must properly configure the subnet mask and the router (gateway). 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 printer control panel.
PAGE 107
The BRAdmin application can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols to communicate with the Brother print server. If you wish to use the TCP/IP protocol to manage the print server make sure that the print server has a valid IP address. There are two ways to change the IP address using the BRAdmin Professional software: ■ Use the IPX/SPX protocol. ■ Use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin find the Brother print server as an unconfigured device.
PAGE 108
6 Click OK. Restart the print server by using BRAdmin, Web Browser or TELNET. If you are not sure how to restart the print server, you may simply turn the printer’s power switch off, and then switch it on. 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.
PAGE 109
Using DHCP to Configure the IP address The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have DHCP Server in your network (typically a Unix/Linux, Windows NT® 4.0, Windows® 2000 or Novell Netware network) the print server will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.
PAGE 110
Using ARP to Configure the Print Server IP Address If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application or the printer’s control panel and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the ARP command. The ARP command is available on Windows® systems that have TCP/IP installed as well as Unix systems.
PAGE 111
Unix/Linux Systems Typically, Unix systems require the hash "-" character between each digit of the Ethernet address. arp -s 192.189.207.2 00-80-77-31-01-07 You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and operating system) to use the arp -s command. If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in this chapter to enter the IP address.
PAGE 112
Using RARP to Configure the IP Address The Brother print server’s IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (rarp) facility on your host computer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create it) with an entry similar to the following: 00:80:77:31:01:07 BRN_310107 Where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the print server and the second entry is the name of the print server (the name must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file).
PAGE 113
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. In order to use BOOTP to configure the IP address make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your host computer (it should appear in the /etc/services file on your host as a real service; type man bootpd or refer to your system documentation for information). BOOTP is usually started up via the /etc/inetd.
PAGE 114
Certain BOOTP host software implementations 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 configuration file. As with rarp, the print server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the printer is powered on.
PAGE 115
If you do not have any subnets, use one of the following default subnet masks: 255.255.255.0 255.255.0.0 255.0.0.0 for class C networks for class B networks for class A networks The leftmost group of digits in your IP address can identify the type of network you have. The value of this group ranges from 192 through 255 for Class C networks (e.g., 192.189.207.3), 128 through 191 for Class B networks (e.g.,128.10.1.30), and 1 through 127 for Class A networks (e.g., 13.27.7.1).
PAGE 116
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 (check with your network manager for the IP address to use). For example: Local> SET IP ADDRESS 192.189.207.3 You will now need to set the subnet mask by typing SET IP SUBNET subnet mask, where subnet mask is the desired subnet mask you wish to assign to the print server (check with your network manager for the subnet mask to use).

11 Troubleshooting 11 Overview This chapter describes procedures for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with a Brother print server, it is divided into the following sections: 1 Installation Problems 2 Intermittent Problems 3 Protocol-Specific Troubleshooting Installation problems If you cannot print over the network, check the following: 1 Make sure that the printer is powered on, is on-line and ready to print.
PAGE 119
2 If the configuration page prints but you cannot print documents, try the following If none of the following steps are successful, there is almost certainly a hardware or network problem! a If you are using TCP/IP: Try pinging the print server from the host operating system command prompt with the command: ping ipaddress Where ipaddress is the print server IP address (note that in some instances it can take up to two minutes for the print server to load its IP address after setting the IP address).
PAGE 120
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 Network STATISTICS information to see if bytes are being transmitted and received. c Check to see if there is any LED activity. The NC-5100h print server has two LEDs on the back panel of the printer. The upper side LED shows Link/Speed status.
PAGE 121
6 If the job exits the queue but does not print, make sure that you are not trying to print a text job to a PostScript printer. If you have a printer that is capable of automatic language switching, make sure that the printer is not forced into PostScript mode.
PAGE 122
2 If you used BRCONFIG, NCP or to enter the IP address, make sure that you exited the remote console properly with a CTRLD or EXIT and that you turned the printer off and then again (it may take up to two minutes for the IP address to take effect). 3 Make sure that the TCP/IP protocol of the print server is enabled. 4 If you used rarp, make sure that you started the rarp daemon on any workstation using the rarpd, rarpd-a, or equivalent command.
PAGE 123
3 If you are using a Berkeley-based UNIX, make sure that the daemon is started on Berkeley based systems with the command lpc start printer, where printer is the name of the local print queue. 4 If you are using an AT&T-based UNIX, make sure the printer is enabled (enable printer, where printer is the name of the local print queue). 5 Make sure that the lpr/lpd remote line printer service are running on the host computer (refer to your host computer documentation for information on how to do this).
PAGE 124
Windows® NT/LAN Server (TCP/IP) Troubleshooting If you are having trouble printing with Windows® NT or LAN Server, check the following: 1 Make sure that TCP/IP and TCP/IP print service are installed and running on the Windows® NT system or the LAN Server file server. 2 If you are using DHCP and you have not created a reservation for the print server, make sure that you enter the NetBIOS name of the print server in the Name or address of server providing lpd box.
PAGE 125
Windows® 95/98/Me Peer-to-Peer (HP JetAdmin compatible method) Troubleshooting If you are having trouble printing on a Windows® 95/98/Me Peer-toPeer network, check the following (HP JetAdmin compatible method): 1 If the print server does not show up under JetAdmin on a Windows® 95/98/Me Peer-to-Peer network, try removing all of the Windows® 95/98/Me network software from the Network Control panel and then reinstalling them as follows: ■ First install the IPX/SPX-Compatible Protocol (or the TCP/IP protocol
PAGE 126
Brother Internet Print (TCP/IP) Troubleshooting 1 The first step in troubleshooting is to make sure that you have a valid E-mail connection on both the sending PC and the receiving print server. Try sending an E-mail message from the PC to a user at the remote site who can receive mail via the POP3 server. If this does not work, there may be an E-mail configuration problem on the PC, on the local E-mail server, or on the remote POP3 server.
PAGE 127
Get More Info option in Windows® 2000 not working If you are using a URL of: http://ip_address:631 or http://ip_address:631/ipp, the Get More Info option in Windows® 2000 will not function. If you wish to use the Get More Info option use the following URL: http://ip_address This will then force Windows® 2000/XP to use Port 80 to communicate with the Brother print server. Windows® 95/98/Me clients not able to get the driver from a Windows® 2000/XP system. You must be using version 4.
PAGE 128
1 If you changed the login password, you must change the password in both the Brother print server (using the SET NETWARE PASSWORD command if you are using the BRConfig software) or by using a web browser or the BRAdmin application and in the file server (using the PCONSOLE Print Server Information Change Password command).
PAGE 129
3 If you have a large network, make sure that you have the Laser Writer V8.xx or equivalent driver, since earlier versions may cause PostScript errors. Also, verify that you get the correct printer information when you select Printer Info from the Setup button in the Chooser. 4 Make sure that you have selected the correct Printer Description File (PPD) from the Chooser (otherwise PostScript errors may result). 5 Verify that you have selected the correct AppleTalk zone.
