CHAPTER ONE

Unix Printing

Printing from UNIX/Linux using TCP/IP

Overview

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.

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 print server is 0.0.0.0.
2. Refer to chapter 1 of printer User's Guide to learn how to configure the IP

address on your printer.

3. The default password for print server is "access".
4. The default name for print server is usualy BRN_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is

the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the print server).
