CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING
1-2
TCP/IP
Brother Print 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 Servers without the need for any special software on the host computer. For
special applications, raw TCP ports are also available.
The Brother NC-3100h and NC-4100h print servers also support the FTP protocol.
This protocol can be used to send print jobs from Unix systems.
The Brother print server is pre-configured to run on a TCP/IP network with a
minimum of setup. The only mandatory configuration the print server is the
allocation of an IP address, which can be either automatically assigned using DHCP,
BOOTP etc., or manually assigned using the ARP command, BRAdmin, the printer
front panel (if applicable), etc.
For setting the IP address of the print server, refer to the quick print setup guide or to
of this user guide.
