Linux Configuration
If you do not wish to use the command line interface to configure your Linux
distribution, you may wish to use the Linux Printer System Manager application on
your GUI. To do this, do the following:
1.
 From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the Add button.
2.
 You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you are using, select
the Remote Unix (lpd) Queue option and click OK.
3.
 You must now specify the remote host name, remote queue name and the
input filter to use.
4.
 The Remote Host name is the IP address of the printer, or the name from
the hosts file which corresponds to the IP address of the printer.
5.
 The Remote Queue name is the service name that the printer will use when
processing the data. Generally we recommend that you use the name
BINARY_P1, however, if you are planning to send text documents that do
not have a carriage return and a line feed, then use TEXT_P1.
6.
 Select the appropriate Input Filter from the list of available printers on
your particular build of Linux.
In order to make your settings work, select the Resart lpd option. As soon as the
lpd server restarts, you will be able to send printed documents from your server.

HP/UX Configuration
In the case of HP/UX10.xx, the sam program is used to set up the remote printer. The
steps are as follows:
1.
  Execute the sam program. From the list of options, select Printers and
Plotters
2.
 Select LP Spooler
3.
 Select Printers and Plotters
4.
 Select Actions and then Add Remote Printer/Plotter
5.
 Enter any name as the Printer Name (this will be the name of the print
queue)
6.
 Enter the IP address of the print server as the Remote System Name
7.
 Enter the desired print server service name as the Remote Printer Name
8.
 Check the box next to Remote Printer is on BSD system
9.
 You may accept the default values for the remaining items.
10.
 Click OK to configure the printer
You should now be able to print using the lp-d command with the printer name.
If you are using the HP distributed print service, the configuration procedure is
slightly different because you are sending the print jobs to a file server, which in turn
spools the job to the print server. You must therefore know the name of the file
server (spooler host) in addition to the above information. You will add a physical
and a remote printer and a remote printer, and then assign a logical printer to the
remote printer (a unique name that does not match any other name). To print, use the
lp -d command with the logical printer name.
Earlier versions of HP/UX use similar procedures to 10.xx users:
1.
 Enter sam and select Peripheral Devices and then Add Remote Printer (not
Networked printer)
2.
 Enter the following remote printer settings (the other settings do not matter):
3.
 Line printer name (user-selectable)
4.
 Remote system name (the print server name; must match what is in hosts file
or use print server IP address)
5.
 Remote printer queue (Printserver binary or text service name, e.g.
BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1).
6.
 Remote Printer is on a BSD System (Yes) 
						

							CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING
1-8
IBM RS/6000 AIX Configuration
The RS/6000 AIX operating system uses the smit program to set up the remote
printer. The procedure is as follows for AIX 4.0 and later:
1.
 Enter smit and select devices
2.
 Select Printer/Plotter
3.
 Select Print Spooling
4.
 Select Add a Print Queue
5.
 Select Remote
6.
 Enter the following Remote Printer Settings:
Name of queue (user selectable)
Host name of Remote Printer (print server name; must match name in
/etc/hosts file or use the print server IP address)
Name of queue on remote printer (print server binary or text service name,
eg. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1).
Type of print spooler. BSD (press the LIST button and choose BSD)
The procedure for pre-V4.0 systems is as follows.
1.
 Enter smit and select devices
2.
 Select printer/plotter
3.
 Select manage remote printer subsystem
4.
 Select client services
5.
 Select remote printer queues
6.
 Select add a remote queue
7.
 Enter the following remote queue settings:
8.
 Name of queue to add (user selectable)
9.
 Activate the queue (Yes)
10.
 Destination host (print server name; must match name in /etc/hosts file or
use the print server IP address)
11.
 Name of queue on remote printer (print server binary or text service name,
eg. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1).
12.
 Name of device to add (user selectable; for example lp0) 
						

							CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING
1-9
Sun Solaris 2.x Configuration
Sun Solaris 2.x uses the lpsystem and lpadmin programs for remote printer
configuration:
lpsystem -t bsd prnservername
lpadmin -p queue -s prnservername!prnserverservice
accept queue  (not required on newer Solaris systems)
enable queue(not required on newer Solaris systems)
Where queue is the name of the local print queue.
prnservername is the name of the print server (must match the entry in the
/etc/hosts file or IP address).
prnserverservice is the print server BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1 service.
If this is the first printer configured, you must also use the lpsched command prior to
the accept command.
As an alternative, you may use Printer Manager in the Admintool utility under
OpenWindows. Select Edit, Add, and Add Access to Remote Printer. Then enter the
print server name in the format prnservername!\prnserverservice as
described above. Make sure that the Printer Server OS is set to BSD (the default
setting), and click Add.
Note that we recommend that you use the /etc/hosts file for the printer name rather
than NIS or other name services. Also note that due to a bug in the Sun lpd
implementation on Solaris 2.4 and earlier releases, you may experience problems
printing very long print jobs. If this is the case, a workaround is to use the raw TCP
port software as described later in this chapter.

SCO UNIX requires TCP/IP V1.2 or later to work with Brother print servers. You
must first configure the /etc/hosts and /etc/printcap files as described in step 2. Then
run the sysadmsh program as follows:
1.
 Select Printers.
2.
 Select Configure.
3.
 Select Add.
4.
 Enter the name of the print queue you entered in the /etc/printcap file as the
Printer name,
5.
 Enter anything as the Comment, and Class name.
6.
 For the Use printer interface select Existing.
7.
 Press the F3 key to get a list of available interface, and select the desired one
as the Name of interface using the cursor keys (Dumb is a good choice).
8.
 Select Direct as the Connection.
9.
 Enter the desired Device name (/dev/lp generally works).
10.
 Select Hardwired as the Device.
11.
 Select No for the Require banner field.
Older SCO Unix Systems
The Brother NC-3100h and NC-4100h print servers support the FTP protocol. Earlier
SCO Unix systems are often configured to print using the FTP protocol.

DEC TCP/IP Servers for VMS(UCX)
You need to run the sys$system:ucx:$lprsetup command, specify a printer name, and
then enter the print server IP address as the remote system name. Specify one of the
print server services (see beginning of this section for options) as the remote system
printer name (accept the defaults for other questions).
TGVs Multinet
TGVs Multinet requires you to run the MULTINET CONFIGURE /PRINTERS
command, then use the ADD command to add a printer, specifying the print server IP
address, a protocol type of LPD, and one of the service options described at the
beginning of this section as the remote print queue.
Wollongongs PATHWAY
First make sure that you have the Access option with lpd enabled. Then enter the
print server name and IP address in the TWG$TCP:[NETDIST.ETC]HOSTS file, run
the LPGEN program, and execute the command: add
queue/rmachine=prnservername/rprinter=prnserverservice, where queue is the name
of the queue, prnservername is the print server name from the hosts file, and
prnserverservice is the print server service name.
IBM/AS4000
To use a Brother print server with an IBM AS/400 running IBM’s TCP/IP gateways
services for OS/400 (the OS/400 system must be v3.1 or later)
Use the CFGTCP command at your OS/400 prompt to add the print server’s TCP/IP
address to the AS/400 host table.
Use the following one-line OS/400 command to create the LPD queue:
CRTOUTQ OUTQ( RMSTSYS
(*INTNETADR) RMTPRTO()
AUTOSTRWTR(1) CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE (*OTHER)
MFRTYPMDL ()
INTNETADR(‘’) TEXT
(‘’)
where  is the new AS/400 print queue name,  is the  print server
service name,
 BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1,  is the OS/400 printer driver name
(*HP4 is recommended if in doubt), and  is the IP address of the print
server.Note that the IP address and description must be enclosed in single quotes.

1-12
Other Systems
Other systems use similar programs to set up Print servers. These programs will
generally ask for the following information:
Requested information: You should use:
remote printer Binary or Text service name
remote host computer name Any name (must match the name in the
printcap file, if any) or in some cases,
you may enter the print server IP
address here
remote host IP address IP address of print server.
Technical support specialists for these companies can usually answer configuration
questions if you provide them with the equivalent UNIX configuration information
(tell them that the print server looks like a remote UNIX host computer running the
lpd line printer daemon).
If you have not created a spool directory for the Brother print server on your UNIX
host computer, you will need to do so now (the printer setup utilities in HP/UX, AIX,
Solaris 2.xx, and other systems will automatically create the spool directory). The lpd
spool directory is usually located in the /usr/spool directory (check with your system
manager to see if the location is different for your system). To create a new spool
directory, use the mkdir command. For example, to create a spool directory for the
queue laser1, you would enter:
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/laser1
On some systems it is also necessary to start the daemon. This is done on Berkeley-
compatible UNIX systems with the lpc start command as shown in the following
example:
lpc start laser1

CHAPTER TWO
TCP/IP Printing
Printing from Windows NT or
Windows 2000/LAN Server and
Warp Server
Overview
Users of Windows NT can print directly to a network ready Brother using the TCP/IP
protocol. Microsoft Windows NT 3.5x and NT 4.0 users must install Microsofts
TCP/IP printing protocol. Windows 2000 users are able to send print jobs directly
to the printer without installing any additional software. Brothers Print Server also
support transparent printing from IBM LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server file
servers, as well as from OS/2 Warp Connect workstations using the TCP/IP protocol.
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. The default password for Brother print servers is access.
3. Windows NT 3.51 and Windows NT 4.0 users must install the Microsoft
TCP/IP printing protocol (available through the control panel applet)
4. Windows 2000 users can print using TCP/IP using the standard Network
Printing software and IPP protocol software built into any Windows 2000
installation.
5. Windows 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via a
Windows 2000 computer providing that the Microsoft Internet Print
Services software is installed on the client PC, IIS is installed and running
on the Windows 2000 computer and that the client PC is using version 4 or
later of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
6. 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

2-2
Windows NT 3.5x/NT 4.0/2000 (TCP/IP)
Configuration
If you have not already done so, install the TCP/IP protocol onto your Windows NT
system. This is done via the Network icon in the Control Panel window of the
Windows NT system (the Control Panel is in the Main window on NT 3.5x systems,
or use the Start button on NT 4.0 to access the Settings/Control Panel menu).  The
default configuration of Windows 2000 automatically installs the TCP/IP protocol.
Refer to the appropriate section in this chapter for more information.
