SET NETWARE RESCAN
EXIT
·
 Where nlm is the name of the PSERVER NLM on your file server
·
 Number is the printer number (must match the printer number you
selected during the PCONSOLE configuration in the previous
steps)
·
 Service is the name of the service assigned by NetWare print
server name(where the default services are BRN_xxxxxx_P1 or
BRO_xxxxxx_P1 for the Brother printer, where xxxxxx is the last
six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address)).
For example, to set up remote Printer 3 for an Brother printer with the print server
BRN_310107_P1 using the PSERVER NLM called BROTHER1PS, you would type:
SET NETWARE NPRINTER BROTHER1PS 3 ON BRN_310107_P1
SET NETWARE RESCAN
EXIT
·
 You can also enter the remote printer name using your web browser by
connecting to the Brother print server using the TCP/IP protocol and selecting
the NetWare protocol configuration.
The same services assigned by NetWare print server name cannot be used for both
queue server mode and remote printer mode.
You must now unload the PSERVER NLM from your NetWare file server console
and then reload it in order for the changes to take effect.

CHAPTER SEVEN
AppleTalk (EtherTalk)
TCP/IP Printing
Printing From a Macintosh
Overview
Brother Print Servers support the AppleTalk protocol running over Ethernet (also
known as EtherTalk). This allows Macintosh users to print at the same time as all
other Ethernet network using the AppleTalk (also referred to as EtherTalk) protocol.
With the release of System 8.6 or later, Apple introduced a TCP/IP printing
capability. This allows Macintosh users to send print jobs using the TCP/IP protocol.
Quick Tips:
1. The default name that will appear in the Chooser of a Macintosh will be
BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT (where xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the Ethernet
address)
2. From a Macintosh network, the easiest way to change this  name is to assign
an IP address to the printer and then use a Web browser to change the name.
Connect to the print using a web browser and click on Network
Configuration, enter the password and select Configure AppleTalk, Click
BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT, on the Service Name, enter the new name that you
wish to appear in the Chooser and click on Submit. Switch the printer off
and then on and the new name will appear in chooser.
3. System 8.6 or later supports TCP/IP printing.
4. The default password for Brother print servers is access.
5. One way to print that details all network settings is to print a configuration
page, press the TEST button on the back of the print server.
6. 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. 
						

							CHAPTER 7 APPLETALK (ETHERTALK) TCP/IP PRINTING

Macintosh Configuration
Your Brother Printer is compatible with the standard Apple LaserWriter 8 printer
driver (earlier versions of the LaserWriter drivers may crash or cause PostScript
errors on large networks). If you do not have the LaserWriter 8 driver you must
install them. Consult your Macintosh documentation for instructions on how to do
this.
Before you try to use the Brother Print Server, you must firstly enable the EtherTalk
protocol from the Network Control Panel on the Macintosh. If the EtherTalk protocol
is not selected, or the Network Control Panel does not exist, you must use Apples
Network Installer software to add these capabilities.
Please ensure that you install the appropriate PPD file supplied with your printer.
You will find a BR-Script  PPD installer icon which will copy the necessary files
across from the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.
Figure 1 Typical Macintosh Installer
The above screenshot is from a Brother HL-1200 series printer driver. However, you
will see a similar screen for all Brother printers that include a Macintosh printer
driver. 
						

							CHAPTER 7 APPLETALK (ETHERTALK) TCP/IP PRINTING
7-3
Operation
Once the print server is installed and the printer is powered on, the Brother print
server AppleTalk service name (default is BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT, where xxxxxx is
the last six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address) should appear in the
Chooser. If you have an NC-2000 series print server such as the NC-2100h or NC-
2010h, the default Chooser name will be BRO_xxxxxx_P1_AT
You can find the service name and MAC address by printing out the printer
configuration page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print
the configuration page on your print server.
How to Select the Print Server
(AppleTalk/EtherTalk)
1.
 Open the Chooser from the Apple Menu on the Macintosh, and then click on
the LaserWriter icon (if necessary, select the appropriate AppleTalk zone
from the Network Control Panel).
Figure 2 Macintosh Chooser
2.
 Click on the appropriate print server and close the Chooser program. You
should now be able to print from the Macintosh.
If you cannot see the print server, first make sure that your cabling is correct and that
you have enabled EtherTalk from your Macintosh Network Control Panel. You may
also need to force the print server into the correct AppleTalk zone using the
BRAdmin application or a web browser.
