Unix Printing 
 
 
Printing from Unix/Linux using 
TCP/IP 
 
Overview 
 
Brother Print / Fax 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.  
 
The Linux operating system uses the same setup procedures as standard Berkeley 
UNIX systems. Refer to this chapter for...

TCP/IP 
 
Brother Print / Fax servers appear to the network as a UNIX host computer with 
a unique IP address running the lpd, line printer daemon, protocol. As a result, 
any host computer that supports the Berkeley remote LPR command can spool 
jobs to Brother Print / Fax servers without the need for any special software on 
the host computer. For special applications, raw TCP ports are also available. 
 
The Brother NC-8100h Print / Fax server also support the FTP...

General TCP/IP UNIX Host Configuration 
 
The configuration process for most UNIX systems is described in the following 
steps. As this process varies, we recommend that you refer to your system 
documentation (or man pages) for additional information. 
 
1.  Configure the /etc/hosts file on each UNIX host that needs to 
communicate with the Print / Fax server. Use your favorite editor to add 
an entry to the /etc/hosts file containing the IP address and node name of 
the...

2.  Choose which Print / Fax server service you want to use. There are 
several types of services available on Brother Print / Fax servers. Binary 
services pass data through unmodified and are therefore required for 
PCL or PostScript rasterized graphics printouts. Text services add a 
carriage return at the end of each line for proper formatting of UNIX text 
files (which end in linefeed and do not have carriage returns). The text 
service can also be used for...

An example of a typical printcap file: 
 
laser1|Printer on Floor 1: 
:lp=: 
:rm=BRN_310107: 
:rp=TEXT_P1: 
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/laser1: 
 
Make sure this information is added to the end of the printcap file. Also make 
sure that the last character in the printcap file is a colon : 
 
This will create a queue named laser1 on the host computer that communicates to 
a Brother Print / Fax server with a node name (rm) of BRN_310107 and a service 
name (rp) of TEXT_P1 printing...

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,...
