1 - 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.
The Linux operating system uses the same setup procedures as standard Berkeley UNIX systems.
Refer to this chapter for a typical GUI based Linux installation.
Quick Tips:
1 The default IP address of Brother print servers is 0.0.0.0.
2 Refer to the Quick Setup Guide of the printer to learn how to configure the IP address on your
printer.
3 The default password for Brother print servers is access.
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).
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.
The Brother print server is pre-configured to run on a TCP/IP network witha 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, or manually assigned using the BRAdmin Professional utility or the
printer control panel.
Refer to the Quick Setup Guide of the printer to learn how to configure the IP address on your printer.
Unix Printing

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 2
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 (or man pages) 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
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 settings page),
however, it is good practice to make the names the same. 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 addressas the host name when setting
up the print queue. If this is the case, you do not need to configure the hosts file.
2 Configure the /etc/printcap file on each host computer tospecify 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. SCO UNIX
users should follow these steps, but should also refer to the SCO UNIX 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 section 3-a. SCO user's should also skip to section 3a(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:

1 - 3 UNIX PRINTING
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 queuenamed laser1 on the host computer that communicates to a Brother print server
with a node name (rm) of BRN_310107, which can print to a Brother printer through spool directory /
usr/spool/lpd/laser1.
The rm and rp options are not available on some UNIX systems, so if necessary check your
documentation (or man pages) 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.
3 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.

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 4
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.
4 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.
5 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".
6 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.
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.
7 Enter the desired print server service name as the Remote Printer Name.
8 Check the box next to Remote Printer is on BSD system.
9 You may accept the default values for the remaining items.
10 Click OK to configure the printer.
You should now be able to print using the lp-d command with the printer name.

1 - 5 UNIX PRINTING
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.
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 (We recommend using “BINARY_P1” for the queue name).
■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:
1 Enter smit and select devices.
2 Select Printer/Plotter.
3 Select Print Spooling.
4 Select Add a Print Queue.
5 Select Remote.
6 Enter the following Remote Printer Settings:
■Name of queue (user selectable)
■Host name of Remote Printer (printserver name; mustmatch name in /etc/hosts fileor use
the print server IP address)
■Name of queue on remote printer (We recommend using “BINARY_P1” for the queue name).
■Type of print spooler. BSD (press the LIST button and choose BSD)

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 6
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).
■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 (We recommend using “BINARY_P1” for the queue name).
■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 BINARY_P1service.
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.

1 - 7 UNIX PRINTING
SCO UNIX Configuration
To configure a printer in version Version 5.x of SCO Unix, use the SCOADMIN program.
1 Select Printers and then Print Manager.
2 On the menu select Printer and then Add Remote followed by Unix...
3 Enter the IP address of the print server, and type in the name of the printer that will be used to spool
to.
4 Deselect Use External remote Printing Protocol...
5 Edit the /etc/printcap file to include formfeed and add the text rp=lpaf.
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.
7 Press the F3 key to get a list of available interfaces, and select the desired one as the Name of

You need to run the sys$system:ucx:$lprsetup command, specify a printer name, and then enter
the print server IP address as the remote system name. Specify one of the print server services (see
beginning of this section for options) as the remote system printer name. Accept the defaults for other
questions.
TGV's Multinet
TGV's Multinet requires you to run the MULTINET CONFIGURE /PRINTERS command, then use the
ADD command to add a printer, specifying the print server IP address, a protocol type of LPD, and one
of the service options described at the beginning of this chapter as the remote print queue.
Wollongong's PATHWAY
First make sure that you have the Access option with lpd enabled. Then enter the print server name and
IP address in the TWG$TCP:[NETDIST.ETC]HOSTS file, run the LPGEN program, and execute the
command: add queue/rmachine=prnservername/rprinter=prnserverservice, where
queue is the name of the queue, prnservername is the print server name from the hosts file, and
prnserverservice is BINARY_P1.
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.
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> isthenewAS/400print queuename,<service> is the printserver servicename
BINARY_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.
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. These programs will generally ask for the
following information:
Technical support specialists for these companies can usually answer configuration questions if you
provide them with the equivalent UNIX configuration information (tell them that the print server looks like
a remote UNIX host computer running the lpd line printer daemon).
Requested information: You should use:
remote printer BINARY_P1
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.

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
systems with the lpc start command as shown in the following example:
lpc start laser1
