CHAPTER TWELVE
Unix Printing
Printing from Unix/Linux using
TCP/IP
Overview
Brother Print / Fax 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 Brother Print / Fax servers is 192.0.0.192. To
change it, use the print front panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin
application or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the MFC.
2. Refer to ‘chapter 1’ of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP
address on your MFC.
3. The default password for Brother Print / Fax servers is "access".
4. The default name for a Brother Print / Fax server is usually
BRN_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address
of the Print / Fax server).
5. When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the
service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1.
