TCP/IP printing for Unix Systems 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. Note 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. 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 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, BRAdmin32, etc. Note For setting the IP address of the print server, refer to the IP address section end half of this chapter. 1-1 TCP/IP UNIX Host Configuration The configuration process for most UNIX systems is described in the following steps. Unfortunately, this process can vary, so 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 server or provide similar information to a nameserver on the network. Use your favorite editor to add an entry to the /etc/hosts file containing the IP address and node name of the device. For example: 192.189.207.3 BRN_310107 The actual format of the entry may vary depending on your system, so check your system documentation and also note the format of other entries in the etc/hosts file. Note · The node name in this file does not necessarily need to be the same as the one that is actually configured into the Brother print server (the name that appears on the printer configuration page), however, it is good practice to make the names the same. Some operating systems, such as HP/UX, do not accept the "_" character in the default name, for these systems you must use a different name). · In any case, the node name in the /etc/hosts file must match the node name in the /etc/printcap file. Note Some systems such as HP/UX and AIX allow you to enter the IP address as the host name when setting up the print queue. If this is the case, you do not need to configure the hosts file. 2. Choose which print server service you want to use. There are several types of services available on Brother Print 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 nonrasterized graphics, such as ASCII PostScript graphics or many types of PCL graphics. Choose one of the available services (this service name will be used in step 3): BINARY_P1 TEXT_P1_TX Binary data Text data (CR added) You may set up multiple print queues on your UNIX host computer for the same print server, each one with a different service name (for example, one queue for binary graphics jobs and one for text jobs). Refer to Appendix B for additional information on using services. 1-2 3. Note This step applies to the majority of UNIX systems, including Sun OS (but not Solaris 2.xx), Silicon Graphics (lpr/lpd option required), DEC ULTRIX, DEC OSF/1, and Digital UNIX. SCO UNIX users should follow these steps, but should also refer to the SCO UNIX Configuration section. Users of RS/6000 AIX, HP/UX, Sun Solaris 2.xx, and other systems that do not use the printcap file. Configure the /etc/printcap file on each host computer to specify the local print queue, the print server name (also called remote machine or rm), and the print server service name (also called remote printer, remote queue, or rp), and the spool directory. An example of a typical printcap file: laser1|Printer on Floor 1:\ :lp=:\ :rm=BRN_310107:\ :rp=TEXT_P1_TX:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/laser1: Note 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 server with a node name (rm) of BRN_310107 and a service name (rp) of TEXT_P1_ TX printing text files to a Brother printer through spool directory /usr/spool/lpd/laser1. If you are printing binary graphics files, you would use the service BINARY_P1 instead of TEXT_P1_ TX. Note The rm and rp options are not available on some UNIX systems, so if necessary check your documentation (or man pages) to determine the equivalent options. Users of Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems can use the lpc command to obtain the printer status: %lpc status laser1: queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries no daemon present Users of AT&T-compatible UNIX systems can generally use the lpstat or rlpstat commands to obtain similar status information. Because this procedure varies from system to system, refer to your system documentation for the exact usage. 1-3 3-a. Note Skip this section if you have completed Step 3, unless you have an SCO UNIX system. If you have an HP/UX system, IBM RS/6000 AIX computer, or Sun Solaris 2.xx, there is no printcap file. This is also true for some other AT&T-based UNIX systems, as well as many VMS-based TCP/IP software packages (for example, UCX, TGV Multinet, etc.). Such systems generally use a printer setup program to define the service name (remote printer), the print server name (remote machine) or IP address, and the local queue name (spool directory). 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: From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the "Add" button. You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you are using, select the "Remote Unix (lpd) Queue" option and click "OK". You must now specify the remote host name, remote queue name and the input filter to use. 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. 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_TX". 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. 1-4 HP/UX Configuration In the case of HP/UX, the sam program is used to set up the remote printer. The steps are as follows: Enter sam and select "Peripheral Devices" and then "Add Remote Printer" (not "Networked printer") Enter the following remote printer settings (the other settings do not matter): Line printer name (user-selectable) Remote system name (the print server name; must match what is in hosts file or use print server IP address) Remote printer queue (Printserver binary or text service name, e.g. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1_ TX) Remote Printer is on a BSD System (Yes) 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: Enter smit and select "devices" Select "printer/plotter" Select "manage remote printer subsystem" Select "client services" Select "remote printer queues" Select "add a remote queue" Enter the following remote queue settings: - Name of queue to add (user selectable) - Activate the queue (Yes) - Destination host (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_ TX) - Name of device to add (user selectable; for example lp0) 1-5 Sun Solaris 2.x Configuration Sun Solaris 2.x uses the lpsystem and lpadmin programs for remote printer configuration: lpsystem -t bsd queue lpadmin -p queue -sprnservername!prnserverservice accept queue enable queue · 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). · prnserverservice is the print server Binary or Text 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 printservername!printserverservice 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 Configuration 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: Select Printers. Select Configure. Select Add. Enter the name of the print queue you entered in the /etc/printcap file as the Printer name, Enter anything as the Comment, and Class name. For the Use printer interface select "Existing". 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). Select "Direct" as the Connection. Enter the desired Device name (/dev/lp generally works). Select "Hardwired" as the Device. Select "No" for the Require banner field. 1-6 Other Non-Standard Configurations 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). TGV's Multinet TGV's 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. Wollongong's 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. 1-7 Other Systems Other systems use similar programs to set up Print servers. These programs will generally ask for the following information: Requested information: remote printer remote host computer name You should use: Binary or Text service 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 IP address of print server. remote host IP address 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 1-8 IP Address Configuration The final step before printing is to program the IP address information into the print server. This can be done in any of the following ways: a) BRAdmin32 (for Windows 95/98/NT 4.0 using the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocol) b) DHCP, Reverse Arp (rarp), BOOTP c) The UNIX arp command. The following step (e, f, g) is effective way, when you change IP address. But a valid IP address must already be programmed into the print server. d) TELNET e) HTTP (Web browser) f) Other SNMP based management utility These configuration methods are described in the following paragraphs. Note The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host computers, if it is not, you must properly configure the subnet mask and the router (gateway). Changing the IP Address using the BRAdmin32 application Start the BRAdmin32 utility (from Windows 95/98 or NT4.0). The BRAdmin32 utility can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols to communicate with the Brother print server. As the default IP address of Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192, this means that the print server will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme on your network. If you are not using DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you will probably want to change the IP address. There are two ways that you can do this from within BRAdmin32. 1) Use the IPX/SPX protocol, 2) use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin32 find the Brother Print server as an un-configured device. USING IPX/SPX to change the IP address If your PC has Netware Client software, do the following: 1. Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main window. 2. Check the print server name (the default node name will be BRN_xxxxxx, where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address)). If you cannot find your server name, select the "Device" menu and choose "Search Active Devices" (you can also press the F4 key) and try again. Note You can find the node 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. 3. Select the print server that you wish to configure and double click it. You will be asked for a password. The default password is "access". 4. 5. Select the TCP/IP tab and set the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway as needed. Click OK. USING TCP/IP to change the IP address If your PC has only the TCP/IP protocol, do the following: 1. 2. Select TCP/IP filter in the left frame of the main window. Select the "Device" menu and choose the "Search Active Devices". Note If the print server is set to its factory default settings, it will not appear in the BRAdmin32 screen, however, when you select the "Search Active Devices" option, it will be found as a unconfigured device. 1-10 3. 4. Select the "Device" menu and choose the "Setup Unconfigured Device". Select the MAC address of your print server and click the Configure button. Note You can find the node 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. 5. 6. Input the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway (If needed) of your print server. Click OK then select Close. With the correctly programmed IP address, you will see the Brother print server in the device list. Using DHCP to Configure the IP address Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have DHCP Server in your network (typically a Unix, Windows NT or Novell Netware network) the print server will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services. Note If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT METHOD to static, this will prevent the print server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the print front panel (for those printers that have a LCD panel, TELNET (using the SET IP METHOD command), Web browser or by using the BRAdmin32 application. 1-11 Using arp to Configure the Print Server IP Address Arp is the simplest method of configuring the print server IP address. To use, arp, enter the following command at the UNIX system prompt: arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress where ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address (MAC address) of the print server and ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. For example: arp -s 192.189.207.2 00-80-77-31-01-07 Note · You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and operating system) to use the arp -s command. · If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in this chapter to enter the IP address. · If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP adresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother Print Server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems, in which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother Print Server using the ARP command, you can not use the ARP command again to change the address. The print server will ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to change the IP address again, use a Web Browser, TELNET (using the SET IP ADDRESS command as described in Appendix A), the printer front panel (if you have an LCD panel) or factory reset the print server (which will then allow you to use the ARP command again). Then, to configure the print server and to verify the connection, enter the following command ping ipaddress where the ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. For example, ping 192.189.207.2. 1-12 Using RARP to Configure the IP Address Brother print server IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (rarp) facility on your host computer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create it) with an entry similar to the following: 00:80:77:31:01:07 BRN_310107 where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the print server and the second entry is the name of the print server (the name must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file). If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the command can be rarpd, rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a or something else; type man rarpd or refer to your system documentation for additional information). To verify that the rarp daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the following command: ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type: ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd The Brother print server will get the IP address from the rarp daemon when it is powered on. 1-13 Using BOOTP to Configure the IP Address BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. In order to use BOOTP to configure the IP address make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your host computer (it should appear in the /etc/services file on your host as a real service; type man bootpd or refer to your system documentation for information). BOOTP is usually started up via the /etc/inetd.conf file, so you may need to enable it by removing the "#" in front of the bootp entry in that file. For example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file would be: #bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -i Note Depending on the system, this entry might be called "bootps" instead of "bootp". In order to enable BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the "#" (if there is no "#", then BOOTP is already enabled). Then edit the BOOTP configuration file (usually /etc/bootptab) and enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address and the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the print server. Unfortunately, the exact format for doing this is not standardized, so you will need to refer to your system documentation to determine how to enter this information (many UNIX systems also have template examples in the bootptab file that you can use for reference). Some examples of typical /etc/bootptab entries include: BRN_310107 1 and: BRN_310107:ht=ethernet:ha=008077310107:\ ip=192.189.207.3: Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to BOOTP requests if you have not included a download filename in the configuration file; if this is the case, simply create a null file on the host and specify the name of this file and its path in the configuration file. As with rarp, the print server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the printer is powered on. 00:80:77:31:01:07 192.189.207.3 1-14 Changing the IP Address settings with the Remote Console a If you are using the remote console, such as TELNET, you will be expected to enter the password of the print server. Press RETURN and enter the default password of "access" in response to the "#" prompt (it will not echo). b You will be prompted for a user name. Enter anything in response to this prompt. c You will then get the Local> prompt. Type SET IP ADDRESS ipaddress, where ipaddress is the desired IP address you wish to assign to the print server (check with your network manager for the IP address to use). For example: Local> SET IP ADDRESS 192.189.207.3 d You will now need to set the subnet mask by typing SET IP SUBNET subnet mask, where subnet mask is the desired subnet mask you wish to assign to the print server (check with your network manager for the subnet mask to use). For example: Local> SET IP SUBNET 255.255.255.0 If you do not have any subnets, use one of the following default subnet masks: 255.255.255.0 for class C networks for class B networks 255.255.0.0 for class A networks 255.0.0.0 e The leftmost group of digits in your IP address can identify the type of network you have. The value of this group ranges from 192 through 255 for Class C networks (e.g., 192.189.207.3), 128 through 191 for Class B networks (e.g.,128.10.1.30), and 1 through 127 for Class A networks (e.g., 13.27.7.1). f If you have a gateway (router), enter its address with the command SET IP ROUTER routeraddress, where routeraddress is the desired IP address of the gateway you wish to assign to the print server. For example: Local> SET IP ROUTER 192.189.207.1 g To verify that you have entered the IP information correctly, type SHOW IP. H Type EXIT or CTR-D (i.e., hold down the control key and type "D") to end the remote console session. 1-15 Before attempting to print It is very important to verify the connection between the host and the print server by using the ping command with the IP address you have set. For example: ping 192.189.207.3 You should get a reply back from the print server. If you get an error message, or no response, then there is no connection. You will not be able to print if you cannot ping the print server. If this is the case, verify that you have set up the host and print server correctly and that the physical connections (e.g., the transceivers and cabling) are good. Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter for additional information. To print to the print server from UNIX, use the standard lpr command with the -P option to specify the queue name. For example, to print the file TEST on the queue laser1, you would type: lpr -Plaser1 TEST Some AT&T-based UNIX systems, such as SCO and HP/UX, use the standard lp command instead of lpr. In these cases, use the -d option instead of -P to specify the queue name as shown in the following example: lp -dlaser1 TEST Note · Please note that Unix systems are case sensitive. If you do not correctly enter the parameters in the correct case, then your document may not print, or it may print incorrectly. · If you want to utilize printing options such as landscape mode, language switching, etc., refer to Appendix B for information on using servers. For non-UNIX systems such as VMS, the TCP/IP printing process is normally transparent, so you use the same commands or procedures as you would for a local printer. 1-16 IP Security Brother print servers provide a means of allowing only host computers with authorized IP addresses to access the print server. This is very useful for applications where general access to the printer is not allowed. The console command SET IP ACCESS ENABLED ipaddress enters a host computer IP address into the access table of the print server (where ipaddress is the IP address of the host computer; refer to Appendix A for information on using the print server console). To remove an IP address, use the command SET IP ACCESS DISABLED ipaddress. To re-enable general access, use the command SET IP ACCESS ALL. Raw TCP ports The Brother range of print servers provide a raw TCP port capability that can be used by any application that can open and send data to a TCP port. The port number is 9100 (238C hex). The ports pass data through unmodified, so there is no TELNET interpretation provided. When using the raw TCP ports, make sure that TELNET interpretation is disabled in your software or else you may get distorted printouts. If you need a different TCP port number or if you want additional TCP ports, you may define a TCP port number on any service by using the console command: SET SERVICE servicename TCP nn where servicename is the name of the service, and nn is the desired port number (must be greater than 1023). Refer to Appendix A for information on using the console. 1-17 Chapter 2 How to Configure TCP/IP printing for Windows NT, LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server 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 Microsoft's "TCP/IP printing" protocol. Brother's 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. TCP/IP is included as standard with OS/2 Warp Server and with LAN Server V4.0, and is optional on LAN Server V3.x systems. It is also included as standard with OS/2 Warp Connect, and is an optional component of earlier versions of OS/2. Windows NT(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). NT 3.5x systems: a b c Go into the Control Panel and run the Network applet. Select Add Software and TCP/IP Protocol and related components. Select the TCP/IP Network Printing Support check box. And then click on the Continue button. (This option will be unavailable if the TCP/IP Network Printing Support protocol is already installed. Insert the requested disk(s) to copy the required files. Your NT server will need to be rebooted when the files are copied over. d 2-1 NT 4.0 systems: a b c d Running the Network applet, click on the Protocols tab. Select Add, and double click on TCP/IP protocol. Insert the requested disk(s), or CD-ROM, to copy the required files. Click on the Services tab, click on Add and double click on Microsoft TCP/IP Printing. e f Again insert the requested disk (s) or CD-ROM. Click on the Protocols tab when then copying is finished. g Double click on the TCP/IP Protocol option and add the host IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. Consult your system manager for these addresses. Click OK twice to exit (your NT server will need to be re-booted). h 2-2 Configuring an IP address for the Print Server You must now set an IP address into the Brother Print Server. There are several ways of doing this: If your printer has an LCD panel you can use the front panel buttons to change the IP address, subnet mask and gateway addresses. Refer to Quick Setup Guide for instructions on how to do this. You can also use the BRadmin32 Windows utility to change the IP address. The print server also understand automatic IP address allocation methods such as DHCP, BOOTP and RARP. Changing the IP Address using the BRAdmin32 application Start the BRAdmin32 utility (from Windows 95/98 or NT4.0) The BRAdmin32 utility can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols to communicate with the Brother Print Server. As the default IP address of Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192, the print server will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme on your network. If you are not using DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you will probably want to change the IP address. There are two ways that you can do this from within BRAdmin32. 1) Use the IPX/SPX protocol, 2) use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin32 find the Brother Print Server as an un-configured device. 2-3 If your PC has Netware Client Software, do the following: 1. 2. Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main window. Check the print server name (the default node name will be BRN_xxxxxx, where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address)). If you cannot find your print server , select the "Device" menu and choose "Search Active Devices" (you can also press the F4 key) and try again. Note You can find the node 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. 3. Select the print server that you wish to configure and double click it. You will be asked for a password. The default password is "access" Select the TCP/IP tab and set the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway as needed. Click OK. 4. 5. If your PC has only the TCP/IP protocol, do the following: 1. 2. Select TCP/IP filter in the left frame of the main window. Select the "Device" menu and choose the "Search Active Devices". Note If the print server is set to its factory default settings, it will not appear in the BRAdmin32 screen, however, when you select the "Search Active Devices" option, it will be found as a unconfigured device. 3. Select the "Device" menu and choose the "Setup Unconfigured Device". 4. Select the MAC address of your print server and click Configure button. 2-4 Note You can find the 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. 5. 6. Input the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway (If needed) of your print server. Click OK then select Close. With the correctly programmed IP address, you will see the Brother print server in the device list. Changing the IP Address using the ARP command If your printer does not have a LCD panel and you cannot use the BRAdmin32 utility, you can use the "arp -s" command from the DOS prompt: arp -s 192.189.207.77 00-80-77-31-01-07 Substitute the IP address of the Brother Print Server that you wish to use and replace '0080-77-31-01-07' with the actual Ethernet hardware address (MAC Address) of the Brother Print Server. Note You can find the 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. If you get the message "The arp entry addition failed:", try pinging a known device on the network using the command "ping ipaddress", where "ipaddress" is the IP address of that device. 2-5 Note · You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and the Windows NT system) to use the arp -s command. · If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in How to configure TCP/IP printing for UNIX system to enter the IP address. · If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP address using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother Print Server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems, in which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. · The ARP command only works once. For security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother Print Server using the ARP command, you can not use the ARP command again to change the address. The print server will ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to change the IP address again, use a Web Browser, TELNET (using the SET IP ADDRESS command as described in Appendix A), or factory reset the print server (which will then allow you to use the ARP command again). Verify that you can communicate with the Brother Print Server by using the ping command with the IP address or name (if you have edited your HOSTS file or are using Domain Name System). For example: ping 192.189.207.77 ping or Again, substitute your actual name or IP address. You should get a response back from the Brother print server if the IP address has been set and the print server is alive on the network. If you do not, print the configuration page and verify that the IP address has changed. 2-6 Windows NT Print Queue Configuration Windows NT 4.0 Print Queue Configuration (Printer Driver already installed) Note If you have Windows NT 3.5 or 3.51, skip to the Windows NT 3.5x section.

Note Refer to How to configure TCP/IP printing for Unix system for more information on Service Names. 11. Share the printer if necessary. 2-9 LAN Server, OS/2 Warp Server Configuration Brother Print Servers will work with IBM LAN Server, OS/2 Warp Server networks that have IBM TCP/IP V2.0 or later installed on the file server (TCP/IP is supplied as standard with LAN Server V4.0 and later as well as Warp Server). Use the following procedure to configure the print server on an LAN Server or OS/2 Warp Server file server, or on a OS/2 Warp Connect workstation: Server Configuration Make sure that TCP/IP software is installed on your OS/2 file server. If you have not already done so, open the TCP/IP folder on the desktop, and double click on the TCP/IP Configuration icon to add the IP address to the OS/2 file server (consult your system manager for this address). Programming an IP address for the print server 1. If you have the computer on where the BRAdmin32 for Windows 95/98/NT4.0 workstation, it is easiest to use the BRAdmin32 to configure the IP address for the print server, otherwise go to step2. At the OS/2 prompt, use the "arp -s" command from the DOS prompt to enter the IP address into the Brother Print Server as shown in the following example. If your printer does have an LCD display, use the front panel buttons to configure the IP address as described in the Quick Setup Guide. arp -s 192.189.207.77 00:80:77:31:01:07 temp Substitute the IP address of the Brother Print Server that you wish to use and replace '00:80:77:31:01:07' with the actual Ethernet address (MAC Address) of the Brother Print Server. Note that you should use colons rather than hyphens to separate the bytes of the hardware address. 2. Note You can find the 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. 2-10 If you get the message "The arp entry addition failed:", try pinging a known device on the network using the command "ping ipaddress", where "ipaddress" is the IP address of that device. Note · You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and the Windows NT system) to use the arp -s command. · If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in How to configure TCP/IP printing for UNIX system to enter the IP address. · If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother Print Server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems, in which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. · The ARP command only works once. For security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother Print Server using the ARP command, you can not use the ARP command again to change the address. The print server will ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to change the IP address again, use a web browser, TELNET (using the SET IP ADDRESS command as described in Appendix A), or factory reset the print server (which will then allow you to use the ARP command again). 3. Verify that you can communicate with the Brother Print Server by using the ping command with the IP address or name (if you have edited your HOSTS file or are using Domain Name System). For example: ping 192.189.207.77 ping Again, substitute your actual name or IP address. You should get a response back from the Brother Print Server if the IP address has been set and the print server is alive on the network. If you do not, print the configuration page and verify that the IP address has changed. Configuration of an OS/2 Server 1. From the OS/2 desktop open the Templates folder. Use the right mouse button to drag the Printer icon (not the Network Printer icon) onto the desktop. The Create a Printer window should be open (if it is not, double click on the printer icon). Type in any name for the printer. Select the default printer driver. If the desired printer driver is not listed, click on the Install new Printer Driver button and add the driver. Choose the output port. IBM TCP/IP automatically creates 8 named pipes called \PIPE\LPD0 through to \PIPE\LPD7. Pick an unused port and double click on it. 2. - 2-11 Note Early versions of Warp Server have a bug in which the named pipes do not appear (the problem does not affect Warp Connect or LAN Server). This problem is fixed via a patch available from IBM. You will get the Settings window. Enter the following: LPD server LPD printer Host name User The Brother Print Server name (from the HOSTS file)or its IP address. For most applications, use the Brother Print Server 'binary' service BINARY_P1. However, if you are printing text files from the DOS or OS/2 command prompt, you should use the text service TEXT_P1_TX, which will add carriage returns for proper formatting of the data (but will potentially distort graphics printouts). The IP name of the OS/2 file server The IP address of the OS/2 file server You may leave the other entries blank. Click on the OK button. The pipe should be highlighted; if not click on it. Click on the Create button to create the printer. 3. Open the LAN Services folder and execute the LAN Requester program: Select Definitions Select Aliases Select Printers Select Create. Enter the following: Alias Description Server name Spooler queue Maximum number of users Should be same as the printer name previously defined Anything you want Name of OS/2 server Name of printer as defined previously Leave blank unless you want to limit the number of users - Exit the LAN Requester program. 4. You should now be able to print. To test the queue, type the following from either the OS/2 command prompt or from a DOS workstation: COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS \\servername\alias 2-12 Where servername is the name of the file server and alias is the alias name that you specified during this configuration process. This should print the CONFIG.SYS file on the printer. Note that if you selected a binary service as the LPD printer name, the lines will be staggered; don't worry about this because normal DOS, Windows, and OS/2 applications will print OK. 5. The Brother Print Server will appear as a standard OS/2 printer to application programs. To make the print server operate transparently with DOS programs, execute the following command on each workstation: NET USE LPT1: \\servername\alias This will make the printer appear to the software as a printer that is directly connected to the parallel port of the workstation. 2-13 Chapter 3 How to Configure Peer-to-Peer Printing for Windows 95/98 Microsoft's Windows 95/98 operating system features built-in networking capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows 95/98 PC to be configured as a client workstation in a NetWare and Windows NT, environment. For smaller networks, Windows 95/98 also allows the PC to operate in a peer-to-peer mode. In this mode, the PC can share resources with other PCs on the network without the need for a central file server. There are two methods of printing to a Ethernet print server in a Windows 95/98 peer to peer network. One method uses the Brother LPR Port driver as described below. As the Brother print server is also compatible with HP's JetAdmin software, this compatibility allows you to use HP's peer to peer printing software. We recommend to use the Brother LPR software if you are using the TCP/IP protocol on your PC's. LPR method (TCP/IP) This software requires the TCP/IP protocol to be installed on your Windows 95/98 peer-topeer computers and an IP Address had to be defined for the print server. To install the TCP/IP protocol refer to your Windows 95/98 documentation. 3-1 Changing the IP Address using the BRAdmin32 application Start the BRAdmin32 utility (from Windows 95/98) The BRAdmin32 utility can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols to communicate with the Brother Network printer. As the default IP address of Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192, this means that the print server will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme on your network. If you are not using DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you will probably want to change the IP address of the print server. There are two ways that you can do this from within BRAdmin32. 1) Use the IPX/SPX protocol, 2)use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin32 find the Brother Print server as an un-configured device. If your PC has Netware client software. 1. 2. Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main window. Check the print server name (the default node name will be BRN_xxxxxx, where "xxxxxx" is the six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address)) If you cannot find your server name, select the "Device" menu and choose "Search Active Devices" (you can also press the F4 key) and try again. 3. Note You can find the node 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. 4. Select the print server that you wish to configure and double click it. You will be asked for a password. The default password is "access". Select the TCP/IP tab and set the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway as needed. Click OK. 5. 6. If your PC is using the TCP/IP protocol, do the following: 1. 2. Select TCP/IP filter in the left frame of the main window. Select the "Device" menu and choose the "Search Active Devices". Note If the print server is set to its factory default settings, it will not appear in the BRAdmin32 screen, however, when you select the "Search Active Devices" option, it will be found as a unconfigured device. 3. 4. Select the "Device" menu and choose the "Setup Unconfigured Device". Select the MAC address of your print server and click Configure button. Note You can find the node 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. 5. 6. Input the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway (If needed) of your print server. Click OK then select Close. With the correctly programmed IP address, you will see the Brother print server in the device list. Installing the Brother Peer to Peer Software Setup from the floppy disk 1. Make a backup copy of Brother Network Print Software disk and use this backup disk for the installation process.

The installation program will create the directory for you if it does not already exist on your disk. Enter the Port name that you wish to use and click OK. The default port name is BLP1. Whichever name you choose, it must be unique and it MUST begin with BLP. You must now enter the actual IP address of the print server in the "Printer name or IP address" field. If you have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using Domain Name System, you can also enter the name of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you can also enter the NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in your print configuration sheet. From default the NetBIOS name will appear as "BRN_xxxxxx" where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address. 4. 5. Note · Window 95/98 store the hosts file in the default Windows directory. · By default, the Windows 95/98 hosts file is called hosts.sam. If you wish to use the hosts file you must rename the file to hosts with no extension, the .sam extension stands for sample. 6. Click the OK button. When prompted you must re-boot your computer. 3-4 Associating to the printer 1. You must now create a printer on your Windows 95/98 system using the standard Windows 95/98 printer setup procedure. To do this, go the Start button, select Setting and then Printers. Select Add Printer to begin the printer installation. Click Next when you get the add Printer Wizard window. Select Local Printer when you are asked how the printers is connected to your computer, and then push Next. Select the correct driver. Click Next when you are done.

Use either the "Easy Setup" or "Custom Setup" to specify the IP address or IPX/SPX address. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 3-6 Chapter 4 How to Configure Peer-to-Peer (NetBIOS) printing for Windows 95/98/NT, LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server Introduction Brother's Print Server range supports SMB (Server Message Block) over the TCP/IP protocol via the NetBIOS interface. This allows direct printing on Microsoft-compatible networks. Because Brother print servers support the SMB protocol over TCP/IP, Brother print server will appear in your network neighborhood. In order for this function to work, you must correctly change the DOMAIN name or WORKGROUP name to match that of your network. Once this is done, the print server will appear automatically in your network neighborhood and you will be able to send print documents to it without having to install additional software. However, in some instances you may find that your Windows 95/98 and Windows NT4.0 systems may receive "Printer is busy" error messages when more that one person attempts to access the print. In this instance Brother have provided the "Brother NetBIOS Port Monitor" software which allows users to continue spooling print jobs while the printer is busy, down or out of paper. The port monitor will hold the jobs until the printer is again available. Note Your computer and print server must have a valid IP address. As for the configuration of TCP/IP network, refer to the chapter "How to Configure TCP/IP printing for Windows NT, LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server" and "How to Configure Peer-to-Peer Printing for Windows 95/98" chapters of this user guide. 4­1 Print Server Configuration The key to getting this function to work is to ensure that the Brother print server is configured for your network domain name or workgroup name. When you install Windows 95/98 you are asked which workgroup you belong to, the default workgroup name for Windows 95/98 is "WORKGROUP", however you could change this to anything you want. With Windows NT, Microsoft introduce the concept of "Domains". A domain offers centralized security management where as a workgroup offers distributed security management. The print server does not care if your network consists of a Workgroup or a Domain, the only thing you must tell it is the name of the workgroup or domain. The Brother print server automatically has a default workgroup/domain name of "WORKGROUP". If you need to change name, you can configure the Brother print server to recognize this. There are four ways of doing this (If you are unsure about the name of your workgroup or domain, look in the identification tab in your network applet). · · · · Use BRAdmin32 for Windows 95/98, NT 4.0 (This utility can use the TCP/IP protocol or Netware IPX protocol - no file server necessary.) Use a Web browser, (the print server must have a valid IP address and your computer must also have a valid IP address); You can configure the IP address by using BRAdmin32. TELNET, again your computer and printer must have a valid IP address. Use BRCONFIG for DOS (this utility requires a Netware file server and the IPX protocol). Note Because of the way that Microsoft networks work, the print server may take several minutes to appear in the network neighborhood. You will also find that the print server may take several minutes to disappear from the network neighborhood even if the printer is switched off. This is a feature of Microsoft workgroup and domain based networks. 4­2 Changing the workgroup/domain name using TELNET or BRCONFIG or a web browser If you are unable to use a BRAdmin32 utility or a web browser, you can use TELNET or the BRCONFIG Remote console program (BRCONFIG requires the IPX/SPX protocol to be installed on your PC). When you are connected to the print server, enter the default password "access" in response to the "#" prompt. Type in anything in response to the "Enter Username>" prompt, you will then be at the "Local>" prompt. Now enter the command: SET NETBIOS DOMAIN domainname EXIT where domainname is the name of the domain or workgroup that you are on. If you are not sure what your domain name or workgroup name is look in the Identification tab in your Windows 95/98/NT 4.0 network applet. You can also use a standard WWW browser to change the NetBIOS name, to do this connect to the print server using its IP address and then select the "Configure NetBIOS" option from the print server configuration screen, enter you workgroup/domain name into the "Domain Name" text box. Make sure you submit the changes. 4­3 NetBIOS Port Monitor for Windows 95/98, NT4.0 This software requires the TCP/IP transport protocols to be installed on your Windows 95/98, NT4.0 computer.
