1 Unix Printing
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. As with all protocols, TCP/
IP communications can proceed concurrently while other protocols
are active, this means that UNIX, NetWare, Apple, and other
computers can share the same Brother print server over an 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
192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if
applicable), the BRAdmin application or let your DHCP server
allocate an IP address to the printer.
2 Refer to chapter 12 of this user guide 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).
5 When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to
the service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1.

1 - 2 UNIX PRINTING
YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5
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
remoteLPRcommandcanspooljobs toBrotherprintserverswithout
the need for any special software on the host computer. For special
applications, raw TCP ports are also available.
BrotherprintserversalsosupporttheFTPprotocol.Thisprotocolcan
be used to send print jobs from Unix systems.
TheBrotherprintserveris pre-configuredtorunon aTCP/IP network
with a 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, BOOTP etc., or manually
assigned using the ARP command, BRAdmin or the printer control
panel (if applicable).
For setting the IP address of the print server, refer to the
Quick Setup Guide or to chapter 12 of this user guide.

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 3
YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5
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
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.
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
address as the host name when setting up the print queue. If this is
the case, you do not need to configure the hosts file.
2 Choose which print server service you want to use. There are
several types of services available on Brother print servers.
Binaryservicespass data through unmodified and are therefore
required for PCL or PostScript rasterized graphics printouts.
Text services add a carriage return at the end of each line for
proper formatting of UNIX text files (which end in linefeed and
do not have carriage returns). The text service can also be used
for non-rasterized graphics, such as ASCII PostScript graphics
or many types of PCL graphics.
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. 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).

1 - 4 UNIX PRINTING
YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5
Choose one of the available services (a service name will be
used in step 3):
BINARY_P1 Binary data
TEXT_P1 Text data (CR added)
You may set up multiple print queues on your UNIX host
computer for the same print server, each one with a different
service name (for example, one queue for binary graphics jobs
and one for text jobs).
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.
An example of a typical printcap file:
laser1|Printer on Floor 1:\
:lp=:\
:rm=BRN_310107:\
:rp=TEXT_P1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/laser1:
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. SCOUNIXusersshouldfollowthesesteps, butshould
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).

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 5
YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5
%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 similar status
information. Because this procedure varies from system to
system, refer to your system documentation for the exact
usage.
4 Skip this section if you have completed Step 3, unless you have
an SCO UNIX system.
Make sure this information is added to the endof the printcap
file. Also make sure that the last character in the printcap file
is a colon ":".
This will create a queue named laser1 on the host computer
that communicates to a Brother print server with a node
name (rm) of BRN_310107 and a service name (rp) of
TEXT_P1 printing text files to a Brother printer through spool
directory /usr/spool/lpd/laser1. If you are printing
binary graphics files, you would use the service BINARY_P1
instead of TEXT_P1.
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:

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5
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.
Linux Configuration
Ifyoudonotwishto usethe commandlineinterfacetoconfigureyour
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", however, if you are
planning to send text documents that do not have a carriage
return and a line feed, then use "TEXT_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.

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.
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.
