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 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, you can disable it using printer control panel (If
applicable). If your printer doesn't have an LCD panel, see
chapter 3 of the printer User's Guide).
2 If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a
Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer
control panel (If applicable), the BRAdmin Professional / Web
BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP
address to the printer.
3 Refer to chapter 10 of this Guide to learn how to configure the
IP address on your printer.
4 The default password for Brother print servers is access.

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 particularattention to
the service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1.
TCP/IP
Brother print serversappeartothe network asaUNIX hostcomputer
with a unique IP address running the lpd (line printer daemon)
protocol. As a result, any host computer that supports the Berkeley
remoteLPRcommandcanspooljobstoBrotherprintserverswithout
the need for any special software on the host computer. For special
applications, raw TCP ports are also available.
Brotherprintservers also supporttheFTPprotocol.Thisprotocolcan
be used to send print jobs from Unix systems.
TheBrotherprintserverispre-configuredtorunonaTCP/IPnetwork
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 UNIXsystems is described inthe
followingsteps.Asthisprocessvaries,werecommendthatyourefer
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.

1 - 3 UNIX PRINTING
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.
Binary services pass data through unmodified andare 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 nothave carriage returns). The text servicecan also beused
for non-rasterized graphics, such as ASCII PostScript graphics
or many types of PCL graphics.
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).
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).

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 4
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,SunOS(butnotSolaris2.xx),SiliconGraphics(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 step 4. SCO
user's should also skip to step 4 (SCO uses the printcap file,
but this file is automatically configured via the rlpconf
command).
Makesurethisinformationisaddedtotheendoftheprintcap
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 printingtextfilesto a Brother printer through spool
directory /usr/spool/lpd/laser1. If you are printing
binarygraphics files, you woulduse the service BINARY_P1
instead of TEXT_P1.

1 - 5 UNIX PRINTING
%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 sectionif 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.
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:

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 6
Linux Configuration
Ifyou 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", 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.
Linux Configuration Using CUPS
Many Linux systems support Common Unix Printing System
(CUPS).

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.
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.

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 8
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).
■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 (print server name; must match
name in /etc/hosts file or use the print server IP address)
Name of queue on remote printer (print server binary or text
service name, eg. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1).
Type of print spooler. BSD (press the LIST button and choose
BSD)

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.
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 (print server binary or
text service name, eg. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1).
■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 the print server BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1
service.

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 10
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 .
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 To eject the printed page, add the command rp=lpaf to the /
etc/printcap file.
