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 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
