1 - 1 UNIX® PRINTING11Unix® PrintingPrinting from UNIX®/Linux Using TCP/IPOverviewBrother 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:1The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, you can turn the setting off by using control panel buttons to access APIPA in the TCP/IP setting of the NETWORK menu. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel, the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer. 2Refer to chapter 9 of this User’s Guide to learn how to configure the IP address on your printer.3The default password for Brother print servers is access.

UNIX® PRINTING 1 - 24The 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). 5When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1.TCP/IPBrother 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.Brother print servers also support the FTP protocol. This protocol can be used to send print jobs from UNIX® systems.The Brother print server is pre-configured to run on a TCP/IP network with a minimum of setup. The only mandatory configuration of 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, BRAdmin Professional utility, or the printer control panel.General TCP/IP UNIX® Host ConfigurationThe 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 for additional information.1Configure the /etc/hosts file on each UNIX® host that needs to communicate with the print server. 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_310107For setting the IP address of the print server, refer to the Quick Setup Guide or to chapter 9 of this User’s Guide.

1 - 3 UNIX® PRINTINGThe actual format of the entry may vary depending on your system, check your system documentation and also note the format of other entries in the /etc/hosts file.In any case, the node name in the /etc/hosts file must match the node name in the /etc/printcap file.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.2Choose 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 non-rasterized graphics, such as ASCII PostScript graphics or many types of PCL graphics.Choose one of the available services (a service name will be used in step 3):BINARY_P1 Binary dataTEXT_P1 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). 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 Network Configuration Page), however, it is good practice to make the names the same. See How to Print a Network Configuration Page on page A-8 for information how to print the Network Configuration Page on your print server. (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).

$UNIX® PRINTING 1 - 43Configure the /etc/printcap file on each host computer to specify the local print queue, the print server name (also called remote machine or rm), and the print server service name (also called remote printer, remote queue, or rp), and the spool directory.An example of a typical printcap file:laser1|Printer on Floor 1:\:lp=:\:rm=BRN_310107:\:rp=TEXT_P1:\:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/laser1:This step applies to the majority of UNIX® systems, including Linux, Sun OS (but not Solaris 2.xx), Silicon Graphics (lpr/lpd option required), DEC ULTRIX, DEC OSF/1, and Digital UNIX®. SCO UNIX® users should follow these steps, but should also refer to the SCO UNIX® Configuration section. Users of RS/6000 AIX, HP-UX, Sun Solaris 2.xx, and other systems that do not use the printcap file should skip to step 4. SCO user's should also skip to step 4 (SCO uses the printcap file, but this file is automatically configured via the rlpconf command).Make sure this information is added to the end of the printcap file. Also make sure that the last character in the printcap file is a colon ":".This will create a queue named laser1 on the host computer that communicates to a Brother print server with a node name (rm) of BRN_310107 and a service name (rp) of TEXT_P1 printing text files to a Brother printer through spool directory /usr/spool/lpd/laser1. If you are printing binary graphics files, you would use the service BINARY_P1 instead of TEXT_P1.$

1 - 5 UNIX® PRINTING%lpc statuslaser1:queuing is enabledprinting is enabledno entriesno daemon presentUsers 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. 4Skip 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.). On SCO systems, there is a printcap file, but it is automatically configured by the rlpconf command. Most of these 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). Refer to the appropriate section depending on your version of UNIX®.The rm and rp options are not available on some UNIX® systems, so if necessary check your documentation to determine the equivalent options.Users of Berkeley-compatible UNIX® systems can use the lpc command to obtain the printer status:

UNIX® PRINTING 1 - 6Linux ConfigurationIf 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:1From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the Add button.2You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you are using, select the Remote UNIX (lpd) Queue option and click OK.3You must now specify the remote host name, remote queue name and the input filter to use.4The 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.5The 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". 6Select 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 Restart lpd option. As soon as the lpd server restarts, you will be able to send printed documents from your server.Linux Configuration Using CUPSMany Linux systems support Common UNIX® Printing System (CUPS).For more detailed information on Linux printing visit the Brother Solutions web site at: http://solutions.brother.com

1 - 7 UNIX® PRINTINGHP-UX ConfigurationIn the case of HP-UX10.xx, the sam program is used to set up the remote printer. The steps are as follows:1Execute the sam program. From the list of options, select Printers and Plotters.2Select LP Spooler.3Select Printers and Plotters.4Select Actions and then Add Remote Printer/Plotter.5Enter any name as the Printer Name (this will be the name of the print queue).6Enter the IP address of the print server as the Remote System Name.7Enter the desired print server service name as the Remote Printer Name.8Check the box next to Remote Printer is on BSD system.9You may accept the default values for the remaining items.10Click OK to configure the printer.You should now be able to print using the lp-d command with the printer name.If you are using the HP distributed print service, the configuration procedure is slightly different because you are sending the print jobs to a file server, which in turn spools the job to the print server. You must therefore know the name of the file server (spooler host) in addition to the above information. You will add a physical and a remote printer, and then assign a logical printer to the remote printer (a unique name that does not match any other name). To print, use the lp -d command with the logical printer name.

UNIX® PRINTING 1 - 8Earlier versions of HP-UX use similar procedures to 10.xx users:1Enter sam and select Peripheral Devices and then Add Remote Printer (not Networked printer).2Enter 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 (Print server binary or text service name, e.g. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1). ■Remote Printer is on a BSD System (Yes).IBM RS/6000 AIX ConfigurationThe RS/6000 AIX operating system uses the smit program to set up the remote printer. The procedure is as follows for AIX 4.0 and later:1Enter smit and select devices.2Select Printer/Plotter.3Select Print Spooling.4Select Add a Print Queue.5Select Remote.6Enter the following Remote Printer Settings:Name of queue (user selectable)Host name of Remote Printer (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).Type of print spooler. BSD (press the LIST button and choose BSD)

1 - 9 UNIX® PRINTINGThe procedure for pre-V4.0 systems is as follows.1Enter smit and select devices.2Select printer/plotter.3Select manage remote printer subsystem.4Select client services.5Select remote printer queues.6Select add a remote queue.7Enter 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). ■Name of device to add (user selectable; for example lp0).Sun Solaris 2.x ConfigurationSun Solaris 2.x uses the lpsystem and lpadmin programs for remote printer configuration:lpsystem -t bsd prnservernamelpadmin -p queue -s prnservername!prnserverserviceaccept queue (not required on newer Solaris systems)enable queue (not required on newer Solaris systems)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 or IP address).prnserverservice is the print server BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1 service.

$UNIX® PRINTING 1 - 10If this is the first printer configured, you must also use the lpsched command prior to the accept command.As an alternative, you may use Printer Manager in the Admintool utility under OpenWindows. Select Edit, Add, and Add Access to Remote Printer. Then enter the print server name in the format prnservername!\prnserverservice as described above. Make sure that the printer server OS is set to BSD (the default setting), and click Add.Note that we recommend that you use the /etc/hosts file for the printer name rather than NIS or other name services. Also note that due to a bug in the Sun lpd implementation on Solaris 2.4 and earlier releases, you may experience problems printing very long print jobs. If this is the case, a workaround is to use the raw TCP port software as described later in this chapter.SCO UNIX® ConfigurationTo configure a printer in version Version 5.x of SCO UNIX®, use the SCOADMIN program.1Select Printers and then Print Manager.2On the menu select Printer and then Add Remote followed by UNIX...3Enter the IP address of the print server, and type in the name of the printer that will be used to spool to.4Deselect Use External remote Printing Protocol...5To eject the printed page, add the command rp=lpaf to the /etc/printcap file.$

1 - 11 UNIX® PRINTINGSCO 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:1Select Printers.2Select Configure.3Select Add.4Enter the name of the print queue you entered in the /etc/printcap file as the Printer name.5Enter anything as the Comment, and Class name.6For the Use printer interface select Existing.7Press the F3 key to get a list of available interfaces, and select the desired one as the Name of interface using the cursor keys (Dumb is a good choice).8Select Direct as the Connection. 9Enter the desired Device name (/dev/lp generally works).10 Select Hardwired as the Device.11Select No for the Require banner field.Older SCO UNIX® SystemsThe Brother print servers support the FTP protocol. Earlier SCO UNIX® systems are often configured to print using the FTP protocol.IBM AS/400To use a Brother print server with an IBM AS/400 running IBM's TCP/IP gateways services for OS/400 (the OS/400 system must be v3.1 or later)Use the CFGTCP command at your OS/400 prompt to add the print server's TCP/IP address to the AS/400 host table.

UNIX® PRINTING 1 - 12Use the following one-line OS/400 command to create the LPD queue:CRTOUTQ OUTQ(<queuename> RMSTSYS(*INTNETADR) RMTPRTQ(<service>)AUTOSTRWTR(1) CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE (*OTHER)MFRTYPMDL (<driver>)INTNETADR('<ipaddress>') TEXT('<description>')where <queuename> is the new AS/400 print queue name, <service> is the print server service name (BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1) <driver> is the OS/400 printer driver name (*HP4 is recommended if in doubt), and <ipaddress> is the IP address of the print server.

2 - 1 TCP/IP PRINTING22TCP/IP PrintingPrinting from Windows NT®4.0, Windows® 2000/XP, LAN Server and Warp ServerOverviewUsers of Windows NT®4.0 can print directly to a network-ready Brother printer using the TCP/IP protocol. Microsoft Windows NT®4.0 users must install Microsoft's "TCP/IP printing" protocol. Windows® 2000/XP users are able to send print jobs directly to the printer without installing any additional software. Brother's print server also supports 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. Quick Tips:1The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range:169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer. 1The default password for Brother print servers is access.2Windows NT®4.0 users must install the "Microsoft TCP/IP printing" protocol (available through the control panel applet).3Windows® 2000/XP users can print using TCP/IP using the standard Network Printing software and IPP protocol software built into any Windows® 2000/XP installation. For more information, see Windows® 2000/XP IPP Printing on page 5-9.

TCP/IP PRINTING 2 - 24Windows® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via a Windows® 2000/XP computer providing that the Microsoft Internet Print Services software is installed on the client PC, IIS is installed and running on the Windows® 2000/XP computer and that the client PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft Internet Explorer. For more information, see Windows® 2000/XP IPP Printing on page 5-9.5The 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). Windows NT®4.0 and Windows® 2000/XP (TCP/IP) ConfigurationIf you have not already done so, install the TCP/IP protocol onto your Windows NT®4.0 system. This is done via the Network icon in the Control Panel window of the Windows NT®4.0 system (use the Start button on Windows NT®4.0 to access the Settings/Control Panel menu). The default configuration of Windows® 2000/XP automatically installs the TCP/IP protocol. Refer to the appropriate section in this chapter for more information.Windows® 2000/XP Printing (Printer Driver not yet installed)By default, Windows® 2000/XP systems install with all the necessary software required for you to be able to print.

NETBIOS PEER TO PEER PRINTING 4 - 144NetBIOS Peer to Peer PrintingHow to Print Using NetBIOS in Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP, Windows NT®4.0, LAN Server and OS/2 Warp ServerOverviewBrother print server range supports SMB (server message block) over the TCP/IP protocol via the NetBIOS interface. This means that just like regular Windows® PC's, Brother printers can appear in your network neighborhood. The main advantage of NetBIOS printing is that you are able to print from legacy DOS applications that are running on PC's that are connected to Microsoft networks.Quick Tips:1The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.2Refer to chapter 9 of this User’s Guide to learn how to configure the IP address on your printer. 3The default password for Brother print servers is access.4The default domain name of the print server is WORKGROUP, to change it use your web browser or the BRAdmin application.

4 - 2 NETBIOS PEER TO PEER PRINTINGPrint Server ConfigurationIn 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/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 systems may receive "Printer is busy" error messages when more than one person attempts to access the printer. In this instance Brother has 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.When you install Windows® 95/98/Me you are asked which workgroup you belong to. The default workgroup name for Windows® 95/98/Me is WORKGROUP, however you could change this to anything you want. With Windows NT®4.0, Microsoft introduced the concept of "Domains". A domain offers centralized security management whereas 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 BRAdmin (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 BRAdmin. ■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).

NETBIOS PEER TO PEER PRINTING 4 - 3Changing the Workgroup/Domain Name Using TELNET or BRCONFIG or a Web BrowserIf you are unable to use the BRAdmin application, you can use TELNET, a web browser 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 domainnameEXITWhere 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/Me and Windows 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 Network Configuration screen, then enter your workgroup/domain name into the Domain Name text box. Make sure you submit the changes (click on the Submit button).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.

4 - 4 NETBIOS PEER TO PEER PRINTINGNetBIOS Port Monitor for Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0This software requires the TCP/IP transport protocols to be installed on your Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 computer. To install those protocols refer to your Windows® documentation. If you are using the TCP/IP protocol, the proper IP address should be defined on both the Brother print server and your client PC.Installing the Brother NetBIOS Port Monitor1Start the CD-ROM installation menu program according to the Quick Setup guide. 2Select the proper model and then the Install Software menu.

5 - 1 CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS®55Configuring Internet Printing for Windows®Internet Printing InstallationOverviewBrother's Brother Internet Print (BIP) software, for Windows® 95/98/Me and Windows NT®4.0, allows a PC user at one location to send a print job to a Brother Printer at a remote location via the Internet. For example, a user on a PC in New York could print a document directly from his Microsoft Excel application program to a printer in Paris.Windows® 2000/XP users can also use this BIP software, but are recommended to use the IPP protocol support that is part of the Windows® 2000/XP operating systems. Skip to the "Windows® 2000 IPP Printing" section of this document.Quick Tips:1The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.2Refer to chapter 9 of this User’s Guide to learn how to configure the IP address on your printer.3The default password for Brother print servers is access. 4Windows® 2000/XP users can print using TCP/IP using the standard Network Printing software and IPP protocol software built into any Windows® 2000/XP installation.

CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS® 5 - 25Windows® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via Windows® 2000 computer, provided that the Microsoft Internet Print Services software is installed on the client PC, Internet Information Server (IIS) is installed and running on the server and that the client PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft Internet Explorer.Brother Internet Print General InformationThe BIP software is installed using a standard Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 Installation Wizard. It creates a virtual port on the Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 PC that operates in a similar way to the standard LPT1 printer port from the application program point of view. The user can use the Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 Print Manager to create a printer that uses this port along with a standard Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 compatible printer. Any Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 applications program can therefore print to this printer (and hence to the virtual port) without modification or operational procedure.When a job is printed to the BIP virtual port, it is actually MIME-encoded (converted to a standard Internet E-mail message) and sent out to a Brother print server at the remote location. This means that BIP is compatible with most common E-mail software packages. The only requirement is that the E-mail server be capable of sending E-mail message over the Internet.In more detail, the procedure works in the following way:■If you are connected to a Local Area Network, the E-mail message is passed to the E-mail server, which in turn transmits the message out over the Internet using the SMTP protocol (simple mail transport protocol) to the remote print server.■If you are connecting via a modem directly to an Internet Service Provider (ISP), the ISP handles the routing of the E-mail to the remote print server.

5 - 3 CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS®■At the remote site, an E-mail server receives the E-mail message. The remote print server, which has its own E-mail address, uses the POP3 protocol (Post Office Protocol 3) to download the E-mail message from the e-mail server. It then decodes the attachment and prints it out on the printer.Brother Internet Print: Configuring the Brother Print ServerThe print server can be configured using BRAdmin, by using a web browser, or by using the TELNET command. Print Server Configuration Checklist1Configure the POP3 server on the E-mail server at the remote site with a mail account (Mailbox name) and password for the Brother print server (generally, the mail account name will be the first part of the E-mail address; for example, if you assign the E-mail address emailprinter@xyz.com, then the mail account name would be emailprinter). 2Make sure that the print server is installed and running with TCP/IP enabled and has a valid IP address assigned to it.Because access to the E-mail server on most networks is usually restricted, you may need to have your network administrator check the configuration and add the mail account. If an E-mail is received that has not been configured to use the BIP virtual port driver, the printer will print the E-mail out as a text document.Before configuring the print server to receive BIP jobs, be sure that the E-mail server at the remote site (the receiving end) is configured to handle the TCP/IP POP3, and SMTP protocols (SMTP is only required if the notification feature is enabled).

CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS® 5 - 4Brother Internet Print: Using BRAdmin to Configure the Print ServerThe steps required to configure the print server to receive print jobs from a Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 PC running the BIP software is as follows:1Start BRAdmin.2Select the node name of the desired Brother print server from the list and double click on it. (the default node name is usually BRN_xxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address)). You will be prompted for a password; the default password is access.3Click on the POP3/SMTP tab.4Enter the address of the POP3 server (consult your network administrator if you do not know this address).5Enter the mailbox name for the remote Brother print server. Usually this will be the first part of the E-mail address (for example, if the E-mail address of the print server is emailprinter@xyz, then the mailbox name would be emailprinter).6Enter the password for the mailbox, if any.Skip this section if you wish to use the print server remote console or Web Browser to configure the print server.Using the BRAdmin Professional utility, you can configure the Brother print server using the TCP/IP protocol, or the IPX protocol.You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the Network Configuration Page. See How to Print a Network Configuration Page on page A-8 for information on how to print the Network Configuration Page on your print server.

5 - 5 CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS®7The print server is configured by default to poll the POP3 server every 30 seconds. You may change this value, if desired.8If you have enabled notification, enter the address of your SMTP server (consult your network administrator if you do not know this address).9Click the OK button and save the changes. Now exit the BRAdmin application. You have now configured the print server to receive print jobs.Brother Internet Print: Using a Web Browser to Configure the Print Server 1Connect to the print server IP address using your web browser.2When you reach the network configuration screen, you will be prompted for a password. The default password is "access".3Select the Configure POP3/SMTP option and enter the information as described above. Refer to "Brother Internet Print: Using a Web Browser to Configure the Print Server".4You should see a Segmented Message Timeout option. If a print job is separated into multiple E-mail messages using the Partial E-mail Print feature of the BIP, this value indicates how long the print server will wait for all of the segments of the message to arrive.Brother Internet Print: Using TELNET to Configure the Print Server Skip this section if you used BRAdmin or a Web Browser to configure the remote print server.As an alternative to BRAdmin, you can use the print server remote console to configure the print server. The console can be accessed via TELNET. When you access the print server using these utilities, you will be asked for a password. The default password is access.

CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS® 5 - 61When you get the Local> prompt after connecting to the console, enter the command:SET POP3 ADDRESS addresswhere ipaddress is the address of your POP3 server (consult with your network administrator if you do not know this address).2Enter the command:SET POP3 NAME mailboxname SET POP3 PASSWORD emailpasswordwhere mailboxname is the name of the remote print server mailbox and emailpassword is the password associated with this mailbox. Usually the mailbox name is the same as the first part of the E-mail address that you defined previously (for example, usually if the E-mail address is emailprinter@xyz.com, then the mailbox name is emailprinter).3The print server is set by default to poll the POP3 server every 30 seconds. If you wish to change this value, enter the command:SET POP3 POLLING ratewhere rate is the polling rate in seconds.Type EXIT to exit the console and save the changes. You have now completed configuring the print server.Brother Internet Print: Installing the BIP Software on Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0To install the BIP software on a Windows® 95/98/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 PC, execute the following steps:■Be sure that the PC is running an E-mail program (for example, Microsoft Outlook) that is capable of sending E-mail message using Winsock.■Be sure that your E-mail server is capable of sending messages across the Internet.

All NetWare® jobs are spooled through the Novell® server and delivered to the printer when it is available.Quick Tips:1If you create a NDPS Printer for Netware® 5, you have to configure the IP address of the print server in advance.The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.2The default password for Brother print servers is access.

NOVELL® NETWARE® PRINTING 6 - 2General InformationIn order to use a Brother print server on a NetWare® network, one or more file servers must be configured with a print queue that the print server can service. Users send their print requests to the file server's print queue, and the jobs are then spooled (either directly, or in the case of remote printer mode, via an intermediate NetWare® print server) to the appropriate Brother print server.The system administrator can create Bindery (NetWare® 3), NDS (NetWare® 3 and NetWare® 4) based queues in a single environment without having to switch between applications by using the BRAdmin application.NetWare® 5 users wishing to configure an NDPS printer must use the NWADMIN application supplied with NetWare® 5. Please note that it is possible to create IPX BINDERY or NDS based queues on a NetWare® 5 system using the BRAdmin application.You must install the Novell® NetWare® Client 32 if you wish to create queue information on your NetWare® servers using the BRAdmin application.If you can't use the BRAdmin application in your environment, you can create the queue using the traditional NetWare® PCONSOLE utility or NWADMIN utilities, but you will then also need to use the Brother BRCONFIG utility, TELNET or a WWW browser to configure the print server.Brother print servers can service up to 16 file servers and 32 queues.

6 - 3 NOVELL® NETWARE® PRINTINGCreating a NDPS Printer Using NWADMIN for NetWare® 5With NetWare® 5, Novell® has released a new preferred printing system called Novell® Distributed Print Services (NDPS). Before the print server can be configured, NDPS must be installed on the NetWare® 5 server and an NDPS Manager configured on the server.NDPS ManagerThis creates a NDPS manager that interacts with services running at the server and manages an unlimited number of printer agents.You have to create an NDPS manager within an NDS tree before creating server-based printer agents. If the NDPS manager controls a printer attached directly to the server, you must load the manager on the server that the printer is attached to.1In NetWare® administrator, navigate to the area you want the NDPS manager to reside. Select Object | Create | NDPS Manager and click OK.2Enter an NDPS manager name.3Browse to a server (which has NDPS installed but no NDPS manager installed) where you want to install the NDPS manager and then to the volume you want the NDPS manager database assigned to.

9 - 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION99TCP/IP ConfigurationAssigning TCP/IP InformationOverviewThe 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.The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. However, you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network. This can be done in any of the following ways:■From your printer’s control panel settings (if your printer has an LCD panel).■BRAdmin application (for Windows® 95/98/Me, Windows NT®4.0 and Windows® 2000/XP, using the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols).■DHCP, APIPA, Reverse ARP (rarp) or BOOTP.■The ARP command.■Brother BRCONFIG NetWare® utility (a Novell® Network is necessary).■TELNET.■HTTP (Web browser).■Other SNMP based management utility.

TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 9 - 2These configuration methods are described in the following paragraphs.Using the Printer Control Panel to Allocate an IP Address (Printers with LCD Panels Only)Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for details on how to configure IP address information using the printer control panel. By using the control panel on the printer, you can program the IP address details at the same time that other printer parameters are configured.Changing the IP Address Using the BRAdmin ApplicationStart the BRAdmin application (from Windows® 95/98/Me, Windows NT®4.0 and Windows® 2000/XP).The BRAdmin application can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols to communicate with the Brother print server.If you wish to use the TCP/IP protocol to manage the print server make sure that the print server has a valid IP address. There are two ways to change the IP address using the BRAdmin Professional utility:■Use the IPX/SPX protocol.■Use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin find the Brother print server as an unconfigured device.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).Please use BRAdmin Professional version 1.59 or later.

9 - 3 TCP/IP CONFIGURATIONUsing BRAdmin and the IPX/SPX Protocol to Set the IP AddressIf your PC is using the Novell® NetWare® Client software and is using the IPX/SPX protocol, do the following:1Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main window.2Check the print server name (the default node name is 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.3Select the print server that you wish to configure and double click it. You will be asked for a password. The default password is access.4Select the TCP/IP tab and set the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway as needed. 5In the IP Config box, click the Static radio button. 6Click OK.Restart the print server by using BRAdmin, Web Browser or TELNET. If you are not sure how to restart the print server, you may simply turn the printer’s power switch off, and then switch it on.You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the printer Network Configuration Page. See How to Print a Network Configuration Page on page A-8 for information on how to print the Network configuration Page on your print server.

TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 9 - 4Using BRAdmin and the TCP/IP Protocol to Set the IP AddressIf your PC is using the TCP/IP protocol, do the following:1Select TCP/IP filter in the left frame of the main window.2Select the Device menu and choose the Search Active Devices.3Select the Device menu and choose Setup Unconfigured Device.4Select the MAC address of your print server and click the Configure button.You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the Network Configuration Page. See How to Print a Network Configuration Page on page A-8 for information on how to print the Network Configuration Page on your print server.5Enter the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway (if needed) of your print server.6Click OK then select Close.7With the correctly programmed IP address, you will see the Brother print server in the device list.If the print server is set to its factory default settings, it will not appear in the BRAdmin screen. However, selecting the Search Active Devices option will force the BRAdmin Professional utility to find the device as an unconfigured device.

9 - 5 TCP/IP CONFIGURATIONUsing DHCP to Configure the IP AddressThe 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®/Linux, Windows NT®4.0, Windows® 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.Using APIPA to Configure the IP AddressWith Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA), DHCP clients automatically configure an IP address and subnet mask when a DHCP server is not available. The device chooses it's own IP address in the range 169.254.1.0 through to 169.254.254.255. The subnet mask is automatically set to 255.255.0.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0.By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled.If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT METHOD to static so that the print server has a static IP address. 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 printer’s control panel (for those printers that have a LCD panel), TELNET (using the SET IP METHOD command), a Web browser or by using the BRAdmin application.

TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 9 - 6Using ARP to Configure the Print Server IP AddressIf you are unable to use the BRAdmin application or the printer’s control panel and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the ARP command. The ARP command is available on Windows® systems that have TCP/IP installed as well as UNIX® systems. To use arp enter the following command at the command prompt:arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddressWhere ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address (MAC address) of the print server and ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. For example:Windows® SystemsWindows® systems require the hash "-" character between each digit of the Ethernet address.arp -s 192.189.207.2 00-80-77-31-01-07UNIX®/Linux SystemsTypically, UNIX® and Linux systems require the colon ":" character between each digit of the Ethernet address.arp -s 192.189.207.2 00:80:77:31:01:07

9 - 7 TCP/IP CONFIGURATIONTYou 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 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 cannot 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) the printer’s control panel or factory reset the print server (which will then allow you to use the ARP command again).To configure the print server and to verify the connection, enter the following command ping ipaddress where ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. For example, ping 192.189.207.2.

TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 9 - 8Using RARP to Configure the IP Address The Brother print server’s 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_310107Where 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 rarpdFor AT&T UNIX®-based systems, type:ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpdThe Brother print server will get the IP address from the rarp daemon when the printer is powered on.

$9 - 9 TCP/IP CONFIGURATIONUsing BOOTP to Configure the IP AddressBOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. In order to use BOOTP to configure the IP address make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your host computer (it should appear in the /etc/services file on your host as a real service; type man bootpd or refer to your system documentation for information). BOOTP is usually started up via the /etc/inetd.conf file, so you may need to enable it by removing the "#" in front of the bootp entry in that file. For example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file would be:#bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -iDepending on the system, this entry might be called "bootps" instead of "bootp".BRN_310107 1 00:80:77:31:01:07 192.189.207.3and:BRN_310107:ht=ethernet:ha=008077310107:\ip=192.189.207.3:In order to enable BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the "#" (if there is no "#", then BOOTP is already enabled). Then edit the BOOTP configuration file (usually /etc/bootptab) and enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address and the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the print server. Unfortunately, the exact format for doing this is not standardized, so you will need to refer to your system documentation to determine how to enter this information (many UNIX® systems also have template examples in the bootptab file that you can use for reference). Some examples of typical /etc/bootptab entries include:$

TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 9 - 10Certain 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.Configuring the IP Address with BRCONFIGUsers of Novell® networks have additional alternatives for configuring the IP address of Brother print servers by using the remote console facility. On a NetWare® network, you can use the BRCONFIG utility which is included with every print server.Execute BRCONFIG from the Windows® menu. Select the corresponding server name from the list of print servers. When you get the message that the print server is connected, type the default password access in response to the “#” prompt.You will be prompted for a user name. Enter anything in response to this prompt.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 192.189.207.3You 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

9 - 11 TCP/IP CONFIGURATIONIf you do not have any subnets, use one of the following default subnet masks:255.255.255.0 for class C networks255.255.0.0 for class B networks255.0.0.0 for class A networksThe 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).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 192.189.207.1Type SET IP METHOD STATIC to set the method of IP access configuration to static.To verify that you have entered the IP information correctly, type SHOW IP.Type EXIT or CTR-D (i.e., hold down the control key and type "D") to end the remote console session.Changing the IP Address Settings with the TELNET ConsoleYou 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.If you are using the 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).You will be prompted for a user name. Enter anything in response to this prompt.

TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 9 - 12You 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 192.189.207.3You 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 255.255.255.0If you do not have any subnets, use one of the following default subnet masks:255.255.255.0 for class C networks255.255.0.0 for class B networks255.0.0.0 for class A networksThe leftmost group of digits in your IP address can identify the type of network you have.

TROUBLESHOOTING 10 - 9bIf 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 to initialize.cIf you are using a Novell® system:Verify that the print server can be seen on the network. To do this, login as the SUPERVISOR (not as someone with supervisor privileges) or ADMIN (for NetWare® 4 or later servers), go into PCONSOLE or NWADMIN, select PRINT SERVER INFORMATION, and select the name of the print server (make sure that you have entered the print server name). If you can see Print Server Status and Control in the menu, then the Brother print server is visible to the network, proceed to the Novell® NetWare® Installation Troubleshooting Section.dIf you are running AppleTalk® for Macintosh®:Make sure that you can see the print server name in the Printer List when you select AppleTalk in the Print Center. If it is visible, then the connection is good, so proceed to AppleTalk® Troubleshooting on page 10-17. If you use the RendezvousTM function, please visit the Brother Solutions Center web site on: http://solutions.brother.com

10 - 10 TROUBLESHOOTINGIntermittent ProblemsIf the print server and printer start up OK, but you intermittently have problems printing, check the following:1If 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. The latest Brother printer drivers can be downloaded from http://solutions.brother.com2Check the individual protocol troubleshooting sections in this chapter for additional causes of intermittent printer problems.TCP/IP TroubleshootingIf 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:Turning off the printer and then again,Deleting and recreating the print server and creating a new print queue in order to eliminate the possibility of setup errors.1The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP address. Verify that the IP address is correctly loaded into the print server (via the configuration page. Make sure that no other nodes on the network have this address (DUPLICATE IP ADDRESS ARE THE BIGGEST CAUSE OF TCP/IP PRINTING PROBLEMS).2If you used BRCONFIG or NCP to enter the IP address, make sure that you exited the remote console properly with a CTRL-D or EXIT and that you turned the printer off and then again (it may take up to two minutes for the IP address to take effect).3Make sure that the TCP/IP protocol of the print server is enabled.It is always a good idea to try following in order to eliminate the possibility of setup errors.

$TROUBLESHOOTING 10 - 114If you used rarp, make sure that you started the rarp daemon on any workstation using the rarpd, rarpd-a, or equivalent command. Verify that the /etc/ethers file contains the correct Ethernet address and that the print server name matches the name in the /etc/hosts file.5If you used bootp, make sure that you started the bootp daemon on any UNIX® workstation and bootp is enabled (i.e., the "#" is removed from the bootp entry) in the /etc/bootptab file is correctly configured.6Also verify that host computer and the print server are either on the same subnet, otherwise that the router is properly configured to pass data between the two devices.UNIX® Troubleshooting1Make sure that the /etc/printcap file (if applicable) is typed in correctly. In particular, look for missing ":" and "\" characters, because a small error anywhere in the file can have major consequences. Also check the /usr/spool directory to make sure that you have created a valid spool directory.2If you are using a Linux operating system, the X-Window Print tool program that is included with Linux may not properly configure the etc/printcap file for lpd operation, then you might also edit the etc/printcap file and change the following line in the entry for the printer.if:lp = /dev/null: \then to:lp = :\3If you are using a Berkeley-based UNIX®, make sure that the daemon is started on Berkeley based systems with the command lpc start printer, where printer is the name of the local print queue.4If you are using an AT&T-based UNIX®, make sure the printer is enabled (enable printer, where printer is the name of the local print queue).$

10 - 12 TROUBLESHOOTING5Make sure that the lpr/lpd remote line printer service are running on the host computer (refer to your host computer documentation for information on how to do this).6If 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. 7If text or PCL jobs are run together, try setting the service (remote printer) with EOT set to string number 2 (<ESC>E). For example: SET SERVICE BRN_xxxxxx_P1 EOT 28If PostScript jobs fail to print or are run together, try setting the service (remote printer) with EOT set to string number 3 (control-D). For example: SET SERVICE BRN_xxxxxx_P1 EOT 39If the lines of a text file are staggered, make sure that you have specified a remote printer (rp) name of TEXT in your /etc/printcap file.10If you are using Sun Solaris V2.4 or earlier, there is a bug which causes long print jobs to fail when using a print server. If you are having trouble printing long jobs (over 1MB), add the line mx#0 to your etc/printcap file entry. 11If you cannot print from DEC TCP/IP Service for VMS (UCX), make sure that you have version 2.0B or later of this software, because earlier versions will not work with Brother print servers.Windows NT®4.0/LAN Server (TCP/IP) TroubleshootingIf you are having trouble printing with Windows NT®4.0 or LAN Server, check the following:1Make sure that TCP/IP and TCP/IP print service are installed and running on the Windows NT® system or the LAN Server file server.

TROUBLESHOOTING 10 - 132If you are using DHCP and you have not created a reservation for the print server, make sure that you enter the NetBIOS name of the print server in the Name or address of server providing lpd box.Windows® 95/98/Me Peer to Peer Print (LPR) TroubleshootingIf you are having trouble printing on a Windows® 95/98/Me Peer-to-Peer network (LPR method), check the following:1Make sure that the Brother LPR Port driver is correctly installed and configured according to the Windows® 95/98/Me Peer-to-Peer chapters.2Try to turn the Byte Count on in the Configure port area of printer driver properties.You may find that during the installation of BLP software, the screen that prompts you for a Port name is not displayed. This may happen on some Windows® 95/98/Me computers. Press the ALT and TAB keys to make it appear. Windows® 95/98/Me Peer-to-Peer (HP JetAdmin Compatible Method) TroubleshootingIf you are having trouble printing on a Windows® 95/98/Me Peer-to-Peer network, check the following (HP JetAdmin compatible method):1If 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:■First install the IPX/SPX-Compatible Protocol (or the TCP/IP protocol if you are using a later version of JetAdmin), the Client for Microsoft Networks, and the network adapter card driver.■Install the Latest HP JetAdmin software.■Restart the system, and then add the HP JetAdmin service.

10 - 14 TROUBLESHOOTINGWindows® 95/98/Me and Windows NT®4.0 Peer-to-Peer Print (NetBIOS) TroubleshootingIf you are having trouble printing on a Windows® 95/98/Me, Windows NT®4.0 or later Peer-to-Peer network (NetBIOS), check the following:1Make sure that the Brother NetBIOS Port driver is securely installed and configured according to the Windows® 95/98/Me or Windows NT®4.0 Peer-to-Peer (NetBIOS) chapters. You may find that during the installation of the port driver, the screen that prompts you for a Port name is not displayed. This happens on some Windows® 95/98/Me and Windows NT®4.0 computers. Press the ALT and TAB keys to make it appear.2Make sure that the print server is configured to be in the same workgroup or domain as the rest of your computers. It may take several minutes for the print server to appear in the network neighborhood. Brother Internet Print (TCP/IP) Troubleshooting1The 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. If this does not work, there may be an E-mail configuration problem on the PC, on the local E-mail server, or on the remote POP3 server. Double check to make sure that the E-mail parameters that you configured on the PC and on the remote print server match those that are configured on the E-mail servers.2If you can print small files OK but are having problems printing large files, the problem may be in the e-mail system! Some E-mail systems have difficulties printing large files. If the file does not reach its destination intact, then the problem is with the E-mail system.3You can also enable the partial e-mail print facility on your client PC, this will split the e-mail up into fragments which should then not overwhelm your e-mail server. To do this, select the property dialog of the Brother Internet Print Port.

TROUBLESHOOTING 10 - 15Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP IPP TroubleshootingWant to use a different Port number other than 631If you are using Port 631 for IPP printing, you may find that your firewall may not let the print data through. If this is the case, use a different port number (port 80), or configure your Firewall to allow Port 631 data through.To send a print job using IPP to a printer using Port 80 (the standard HTTP port) enter the following when configuring your Windows® 2000/XP system.http://ip_address/ippGet More Info option in Windows® 2000 not workingIf you are using a URL of:http://ip_address:631 or http://ip_address:631/ipp, the Get More Info option in Windows® 2000 will not function. If you wish to use the Get More Info option use the following URL:http://ip_address This will then force Windows® 2000/XP to use Port 80 to communicate with the Brother print server.Windows® 95/98/Me clients not able to get the driver from a Windows® 2000/XP system.You must be using version 4.0 or later of Internet Explorer and the Microsoft Internet Print Services software must be installed on your client computers.

10 - 16 TROUBLESHOOTINGNovell® NetWare® TroubleshootingIf 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. If the print server does not appear in the list of attached servers, then check the following:■Turning off the printer and then on again to force to rescan the NetWare® queue.■Deleting and recreating the print server and creating a new print queue in order to eliminate the possibility of setup errors.1If you changed the login password, you must change the password in both the Brother print server (using the SET NETWARE PASSWORD command if you are using the BRConfig software) or by using a web browser or the BRAdmin application and in the file server (using the PCONSOLE Print Server Information Change Password command).2If you created the print queue using PCONSOLE and instead of BRAdmin, make sure that you have enabled at least one NetWare® file server using the SET NETWARE SERVER servername ENABLED command.3Have you exceeded your NetWare® user limit?4Make sure that the print server name you used in PCONSOLE exactly matches the name that is configured in the print server, and make sure it is defined as a Queue Server for the print queue.5If you are running both 802.3 and Ethernet II frames on different file servers on your network, there is a possibility that the print server may not make a connection to the desired file server. Try forcing the frame type to the desired one using the SET NETWARE FRAME command from the print server remote console or using BRAdmin.It is always a good idea to try followings in order to eliminate the possibility of setup errors.

TROUBLESHOOTING 10 - 176If you are using DOS CAPTURE statement and losing portions of your print job, try setting the TIMEOUT parameter in your CAPTURE statement to a higher value (at least 50 seconds for Windows®).AppleTalk® TroubleshootingIf 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:1Make sure that the AppleTalk® protocol of your Macintosh® is enabled and you have selected the correct network interface from the AppleTalk®.2Make sure that the AppleTalk® protocol of the print server is enabled.3Make sure that you can see the print server name in the Printer List when you select AppleTalk in Print Center.Web Browser Troubleshooting (TCP/IP)1If you can not connect to the print server using your web browser it may be worth checking the Proxy Settings of your browser. Look in the Exceptions setting and if necessary, type in the IP address of the print server. This will stop your PC from trying to connect to your ISP or proxy server every time you wish to look at the printer server.2Make sure that you are using the proper Web Browser, we recommend Netscape Navigator version 4.0 or later/ Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later.

A - 1 APPENDIXAAAppendix AGeneral InformationYou can change the configuration of your print server using any of the following methods.• Brother BRAdmin application for Windows® 95/98/Me, Windows NT®4.0 and Windows® 2000/XP• Brother Web BRAdmin application for IIS*• HTTP (using a web browser)• WebJetAdmin Software• TELNET (command utility)• Brother BRCONFIG NetWare® Utility (command utility)BRAdmin (Recommended)The Brother BRAdmin application can use the TCP/IP or IPX/SPX protocol.

When you see the Local> prompt, you are ready to enter commands.Enter HELP at the command prompt for a list of supported commands. BRCONFIGThe Brother BRCONFIG utility runs from the DOS system prompt and is installed with BRAdmin. To connect the print server using the Brother BRCONFIG NetWare® utility, choose the BRCONFIG utility from the Brother BRAdmin utilities menu. If you have only one print server, you will be immediately connected to that server. If you have more than one print server, you will be given a list of available print servers. Type the number of the print server to which you wish to connect. When you are connected, enter the password access (the password will not appear on the screen) at the "#" prompt, and type anything in response to the Enter Username> prompt. When you get the Local> prompt, you are ready to enter commands. To use BRCONFIG, a Novell® Server (running the IPX protocol) is necessary and an active connection must be made to the server.Enter HELP at the command prompt for a list of supported commands.

A - 3 APPENDIXUsing ServicesGeneralA service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the Brother print server. The Brother print server provides the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command in the Brother print server remote console to see a list of available services): Enter HELP at the command prompt for a list of supported commands.Where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for example, BRN_310107_P1).Service (Example) DefinitionBINARY_P1 TCP/IP binary, NetBIOS service.TEXT_P1 TCP/IP text service (adds carriage return after each line feed).POSTSCRIPT_P1 PostScript service (switches PJL-compatible printer to PostScript mode).PCL_P1 PCL service (switches PJL-compatible printer to PCL mode).BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT AppleTalk® and LPD service for Mac OS® 8.6 or later.BRN_xxxxxx_P1 NetWare® service (TCP/IP is enabled for backwards compatibility).

APPENDIX A - 4Reloading the Print Server FirmwareGeneralThe firmware on the print server is stored in flash memory. This means that you can upgrade the firmware by downloading the appropriate update file. To get the latest firmware update, visit the Brother Solutions web site at http://solutions.brother.com/Because of this, we STRONGLY recommend that you make a note of the current print server configuration before you upgrade. To do this, print out a configuration page (see How to Print a Network Configuration Page on page A-8 for information on how to print a configuration page).There are three methods of upgrading the firmware in your Brother print server:1Use the BRAdmin application (Recommended)2Use the FTP protocol (Recommended if running on Macintosh® or UNIX® network)3Use another system (such as a Novell® or UNIX® system to send the new firmware file to the print server).Some software versions that we provide will automatically factory reset your print server parameters. We try to avoid doing this. However, if we add a significant new feature to our print server, it can result in the print server being factory reset.

A - 5 APPENDIXReloading Firmware Using BRAdminThe BRAdmin application can be used to easily re-program your Brother print server.1Start BRAdmin.2Highlight the appropriate print server. Then select the Control menu and choose Load Firmware. You can select more than one print server by pressing CTRL+<select> or SHIFT+<select> on each additional print server.There are three possible ways of sending the new software version to the print server. For whichever method you select, you must enter a password for the print server. The default password for the print server is access.3TFTP PUT from this hostUse this method if you have TCP/IP already installed on your PC. BRAdmin will use the TFTP protocol to send the new firmware data to the print server.4TFTP GET from a serverIf you have a TFTP server installed in your network (many UNIX® systems provide TFTP support), you may wish to use this option. The new firmware file must be located in the TFTP BOOT directory on your TFTP server. In this case, your PC makes the print server read the firmware data from the assigned TFTP server. If you do not provide the correct file name, then the upgrade will fail. You must also ensure that the firmware file is set so that the print server can read the file. On UNIX® systems you can use the chmod command to specify file attributes. For example, chmod filename 666 allows the filename to be accessed by anyone. Also make sure that the TFTP service is running on your UNIX® server.5NetWare® GET from a serverYou must have a NetWare® server on your network (running IPX/SPX) and you must store the new firmware file in the SYS/Login directory of the server. In this case, your PC makes the print server read the firmware data from the assigned NetWare® server, the print server attaches to the NetWare® server and reads the firmware itself.
