 You now need to establish a host-initiated connection. For example:
lcp -h tty05:BRN_310107:P1
7.
 Make the spool directory as shown in the following example:
cd /usr/spool
mkdir lp1
chown daemon lp1
Again substitute your actual printer name for lp1.
8.
 Print a file to verify the connection. For example, the following command
prints the printcap file:
lpr -Plp1 /etc/printcap
lp1 in this example must be replaced by your actual printer name. You
may find that you get an error message Socket is already connected. If this
happens, simply try printing again and the message should go away and the
job should be printed. If you get any other message, double check your
configuration.
If you have trouble printing, enter the lpstat -t command to get the status of
the print job. If the job is hung in the queue, you may have a configuration
problem: Refer to the Troubleshooting portion of this userguide for further
assistance.

BANYAN VINES Network
Configuration
Printing from Banyan Vines
Systems
Overview
Brother print servers allow printers to be shared on a Banyan VINES network. Users
on client PCs send their jobs to any VINES file server running the Banyan PCPrint
software, which in turn spools the jobs to the print server. Printing is transparent to
user applications, and the print server can be managed using standard VINES utilities
like MANAGE, MSERVICE, MUSER and the Operator Console printer control. In
addition, VINES users can print concurrently with all network users.
Quick Tips:
1. The default password for Brother print servers is access.
2. If you assign an IP address to the print server, you can use a Web browser or
the BRAdmin application to configure the Banyan configuration parameters.

13.
 You will get the Output strings menu. This screen allows you to define
strings of characters that can be sent before and after the print job to put the
printer in a particular state (for example, duplex mode). The default values
will work OK for most applications. However, if you are printing text files
directly from the DOS prompt, you should define a Post-job string such as \f
(formfeed) to insure that the paper is ejected (this is generally not needed
with DOS or Windows application programs, since the program or drivers
reset the printer after each job, and it may cause problems with binary
graphics files). Press F10 to accept the output string values.
14.
 You will then get the Enable strings menu. This menu allows you to select
whether or not a banner page is printed, whether or not to use the setup and
reset strings, and other options. Choose the desired options or press F10 to
select the defaults.
15.
 You will be asked, Would you like to add another destination at this time?
Select No.
16.
 You will then get the Print Queue Status screen, which will show that the
queue is not accepting jobs or printing jobs. Change both values to Yes and
then press F10. You will get the message that the queue is now ready to
accept and print jobs. Press F10 again.
17.
 If you are configuring more than one queue on the file server, repeat steps 1
through 17 of this section. Otherwise, press ESCAPE multiple times to exit
the MANAGE utility.

Print Server Configuration Using
BRAdmin
The last step is to add the StreetTalk login name to the Brother print server and to
associate the file server queue with one of the services on the print server. The
procedure is as follows:
1.
 Install the software from the Print Server Configuration Utility diskette by
selecting File from the Windows Program Manager menu bar. Then select
Run, enter A:\SETUP.EXE as the command line, click OK, and follow the
instructions on the screen.
2.
 Start the BRadmin program.
3.
 The Brother print server node name BRN_xxxxxx, or BRO_xxxxxx if you
are using a NC-2000 series print server such as the NC-2010h or the NC-
2100h, where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address) will
show up in the list. If it does not, double-check your Ethernet cabling and (if
applicable) hub connection.  Click on this name with the mouse button. You
will be asked for a password, the default password is access.
4.
 Click on the Configure button.
5.
 Click on the Banyan tab.
6.
 The Banyan hop count is set by default to two hops, which is adequate for
most networks. However, if the file server is located more than two hops
from the print server, you must set the hop count to the appropriate value.
7.
 Enter the StreetTalk name of the print server (this must exactly match the
name you entered in Step A-3). If the SteetTalk name has spaces in it, you
must enclose the name in double quotation marks (for example, john
smith@uc_engineering@irvine). If you entered a password in step A-3, you
should also enter the same password here.
8.
 Click on the Services tab.
9.
 Double click on the service you wish to enable for VINES. If in doubt, use
BINARY_P1. Refer to Appendix B of the manual for additional information
on using services.
10.
 Type in the StreetTalk name of the print queue you defined in step B-3.
11.
 Click on OK, and then click OK again to save the configuration.
12.
 Click OK and then OK again to exit BRAdmin.

Print Server Configuration Using the Print
Server Console
As an alternative to BRadmin, you may use the print server console to configure the
print server. The steps are as follows:
1.
 Connect to the print server console using TELNET, NCP, BRCONFIG
Execute some or all of the commands detailed below (you must minimally
enter the StreetTalk login name of the print server and associate one of the
print server services with the StreetTalk name of a print queue).
SET BAnyan LOgin loginname
Sets StreetTalk login name of print server.
SET BAnyan PAssword password
Sets login password of print server. The password (if any) must match the password
you specified in step A-3.
SET SERVIce service STreettalk queuename
Enables the Banyan protocol on the specified Brother print server service and
associates this service with the StreetTalk name of a given print queue on the VINES
file server. Type SHOW SERVICE to see a list of the available services (if in doubt,
use BINARY_P1).
SET BAnyan HOp nn
Sets number of hops between the Brother print server and the Banyan file server. The
default value is 2, which is adequate for most sites, but you will need to change this
value if the file server is more than two hops away from the print server.
When you have finished entering commands, type EXIT to exit the remote console
and cause the commands to take effect.

Web Based Management
How to use a Web Browser to
manage your Device
Overview
A standard World Wide Web Browser (we recommend Netscape Navigator version
3.0 or later/Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.02a or later) can be used to manage
your printer using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). You can get the
following information from the printer using a web browser.
1. Supports several languages including English, French, German, Spanish,
Italian and Dutch.
2. Printer status information
3. Take control of the printer front panel
4. Software Version information of the printer and network card
5. Change network configuration details
You must use the TCP/IP protocol on your network and have a valid IP address
programmed into the print server and computer.
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. You can use a web browser on most computing platforms, for example,
Macintosh and Unix users are also cable to connect to the printer and
manage it.
5. You can also use the BRAdmin application to manage the printer and
network configuration.
