Chapter 1
How to Configure TCP/IP printing for Unix
Systems
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 whilst other protocols are active, this
means that UNIX, NetWare, Apple, and other computers can share the same Brother Print
Server over an Ethernet network.
Note
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.
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 with a minimum of
setup. The only mandatory configuration 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, BRAdmin32, etc.
Note
For setting the IP address of the print server, refer to the IP address section end half of this
chapter.
