UNIX PRINTING 1 - 2
5
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).
6
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 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 allocation of an IP address and a subnet mask,
which can be either automatically assigned using DHCP, BOOTP
etc., or manually assigned using the BRAdmin Professional or
Web BRAdmin utilities, the printer control panel (If applicable) or the
ARP command from a Unix command prompt.).
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.
1
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
For setting the IP address of the print server, Quick Setup
Guide or to chapter 10 of this User’s Guide.
