CHAPTER ONE

Unix Printing

11

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 whilst 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:

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 application or let your
DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

2.

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.

The default name for a Brother print server is usually BRN_xxxxxx (where
xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the print server).
However, some Brother print servers may use the name BRF-xxxxxx or
BRO_xxxxxx.

5.

When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the service
names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1
