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 prog ...
