CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING CHAPTER ONE 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 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.
Page 14
CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING 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.
CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING General TCP/IP UNIX Host Configuration The configuration process for most UNIX systems is described in the following steps. As this process varies, we recommend that you refer to your system documentation (or man pages) for additional information. 1.
Page 16
CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING 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).

CHAPTER 9 WEB BASED MANAGEMENTR How to connect to your printer using a Browser Type "http://printers IP Address /" into your browser (you can also use the NetBIOS name of the print server, if you are in Microsoft Windows domain/Workgroup environment).
CHAPTER 10 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION CHAPTER TEN TCP/IP Configuration Assigning TCP/IP Information Overview The TCP/IP protocol requires that each device on the network have it's own unique IP address. Use the following information to learn about IP address configuration. By default Brother print servers have a sample IP address of 192.0.0.192, however, you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network.
CHAPTER 10 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Other ways to CHANGE the IP address once it is already set: 1. Printer front panel 2. TELNET 3. HTTP (Web browser) 4. Other SNMP based management utility These configuration methods are described in the following paragraphs. 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).
CHAPTER 10 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Changing the IP Address using the BRAdmin application Start the BRAdmin application (from Windows 95/98/Me, NT4.0, Windows 2000). The BRAdmin application 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.
CHAPTER 10 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using BRAdmin and the IPX/SPX Protocol to change the IP address If your PC has Novell Netware Client software and is using the IPX/SPX protocol, do the following: 1. Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main window. 2.
CHAPTER 10 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 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/2000 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.
CHAPTER 10 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using ARP to Configure the Print Server IP Address If you are unable to use the Bradmin application, printer front panel and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the ARP command. ARP is the simplest method of configuring the print server IP address.
CHAPTER 10 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 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...
CHAPTER 10 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 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;...
CHAPTER 10 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Configuring the IP Address with DEC NCP or BRCONFIG Users of DEC and Novell networks have additional alternatives for configuring the IP address of Brother print servers by using the remote console facility. On VMS systems, you will need to have DECNET running in order to use the remote console. The procedure of DEC Network is as follows: Connect to the remote console, if you are using the remote console with VMS or LTRIX, you will need to know the circuit ID *QNA-0 for Q-BUS systems, SVA-0...

CHAPTER 10 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION On a NetWare networks, you can use the BRCONFIG utility which are included with every print server. If you are using the remote console, you will get the message Console connected (VMS) or Connection established (BRCONFIG) or Remote console reserved (ULTRIX).
CHAPTER 10 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Changing the IP Address settings with the TELNET Console You can also use the TELNET command to change the IP address. Using TELNET is effective way, when you change the IP address. But a valid IP address must already be programmed into the print server.
CHAPTER 11 TROUBLESHOOTING CHAPTER ELEVEN Troubleshooting Overview This chapter describes procedures for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with a Brother Print Server, it is divided into the following sections: 1. Installation Problems 2. Intermittent Problems 3. Protocol-Specific Troubleshooting 11-1...
CHAPTER 11 TROUBLESHOOTING Installation problems If you cannot print over the network, check the following: 1. Make sure that the printer is powered on, is on-line and ready to print. Verify that the printer and the configuration are good by printing the configuration page.
Page 110
CHAPTER 11 TROUBLESHOOTING If you are using TCP/IP: Try pinging the print server from the host operating system command prompt with the command: ping ipaddress Where ipaddress is the print server IP address (note that in some instances it can take up to two minutes for the print server load its IP address (after setting the IP address).
Page 111
CHAPTER 11 TROUBLESHOOTING 3. If you cannot make any of the connections in step 2, check the following: Make sure the printer is powered on and on-line. Verify that the cabling, network connection, and print out a configuration page in the Network STATISTICS information to see if bytes are being transmitted and received.
CHAPTER 11 TROUBLESHOOTING Intermittent Problems If the print server and printer start up OK, but you intermittently have problems printing, check the following: 1. If you can print small jobs but large graphics jobs are distorted or incomplete, make sure that you have adequate memory in your printer and the latest printer driver installed on your computer.
CHAPTER 11 TROUBLESHOOTING TCP/IP Troubleshooting If you are using TCP/IP and cannot print to the print server and you have checked the hardware and network as described in the previous steps, then check the following: It is always a good idea to try following in order to eliminate the possibility of setup errors.
CHAPTER 11 TROUBLESHOOTING UNIX Troubleshooting 1. Make sure that the /etc/printcap file (if applicable) is typed in correctly. In particular, look for missing ":" and "\" characters, because a small error anywhere in the file can have major consequences. Also check the /usr/spool directory to make sure that you have created a valid spool directory.
Page 115
CHAPTER 11 TROUBLESHOOTING 6. If you are having trouble printing more than one job at a time, try increasing the IP timeout using the SET IP TIMEOUT command or using BRAdmin. 7. If text or PCL jobs are run together, try setting the service (remote printer) with EOT set to string number 2 (<ESC>E).
CHAPTER 11 TROUBLESHOOTING Windows NT/LAN Server (TCP/IP) Troubleshooting If you are having trouble printing with Windows NT or LAN Server, check the following: 1. Make sure that TCP/IP and TCP/IP print service are installed and running on the Windows NT system or the LAN Server file server. 2.
CHAPTER 11 TROUBLESHOOTING Windows 95/98/Me Peer-to-Peer (HP JetAdmin compatible method) Troubleshooting If you are having trouble printing on a Windows 95/98/Me Peer-to-Peer network, check the following (HP JetAdmin compatible method): 1. If the print server does not show up under JetAdmin on a Windows 95/98/Me Peer-to-Peer network, try removing all of the Windows 95/98/Me network software from the Network Control panel and then reinstalling them as follows:...
CHAPTER 11 TROUBLESHOOTING Brother Internet Print (TCP/IP) Troubleshooting 1. The first step in troubleshooting is to make sure that you have a valid E-mail connection on both the sending PC and the receiving print server. Try sending an E-mail message from the PC to a user at the remote site who can receive mail via the POP3 server.
CHAPTER 11 TROUBLESHOOTING Windows 95/98/Me/2000 FTP/IPP Troubleshooting FTP not an active protocol The FTP protocol is only activated on Brother printers that have at least 8Megabytes of printer memory. Printers that are supplied with less than 8Mbytes will automatically disable FTP protocol. If you printer does not have at least 8Mbytes of memory, upgrade the memory using a SIMM or DIMM (whichever is appropriate) the FTP protocol will then be automatically activated.
CHAPTER 11 TROUBLESHOOTING Novell NetWare Troubleshooting If you cannot print from NetWare and you have checked the hardware and network as described in the previous steps, first verify that the Brother print server is attached to the server queue by going to PCONSOLE, selecting PRINT QUEUE INFORMATION, and then CURRENTLY ATTACHED SERVERS.
CHAPTER 11 TROUBLESHOOTING AppleTalk Troubleshooting If you cannot print from an AppleTalk for Macintosh computer and you have checked the hardware and network as described in the previous steps, then check the following: 1. Make sure that you are running Phase 2 AppleTalk and that you have selected the correct network interface from the Network Control Panel on the Macintosh.
