Unix Printing
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 while 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 printer control panel (if
applicable), the BRAdmin application or let your DHCP server
allocate an IP address to the printer.
2 Refer to chapter 12 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).
5 When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to
the service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1.
