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:

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 turn the setting off by using control

panel buttons to access APIPA in the TCP/IP setting of the

NETWORK menu. 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, the BRAdmin Professional, Web

BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP

address to the printer. You can also disable APIPA using the

control panel from more information refer to Chapter 4 of the

printer User's Guide.

Refer to chapter 10 of this User’s Guide to learn how to

configure the IP address on your printer.

The default password for Brother print servers is access.
