CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING CHAPTER ONE 1Unix 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 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. 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 print front panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin utility, the printer front panel, 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 always BRN_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the print server). Print servers found in Brother FAX/MFC products begin with the name BRFxxxxxx. Older Brother printers that use the NC-2000 series of print servers use the name BRO_xxxxxx 5. When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1 1-1

CHAPTER ONE
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 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.
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 print front panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin utility, the printer
front panel, 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 always BRN_xxxxxx (where
xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the print server). Print
servers found in Brother FAX/MFC products begin with the name BRF-
xxxxxx. Older Brother printers that use the NC-2000 series of print servers
use the name BRO_xxxxxx
5.
When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the service
names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1
