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 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 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.

Some systems such as HP-UX and AIX allow you to enter the IP

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).
