Other Systems
Other systems use similar programs to set up Print servers. These programs
will generally ask for the following information:
Requested information: You should use:
remote printer Binary or Text service name
remote host computer name Any name (must match the name in
the printcap file, if any) or in some
cases, you may enter the print
server IP address here
remote host IP address IP address of print server.
Technical support specialists for these companies can usually answer
configuration questions if you provide them with the equivalent UNIX
configuration information (tell them that the print server looks like a
remote UNIX host computer running the lpd line printer daemon).
If you have not created a spool directory for the Brother print server on
your UNIX host computer, you will need to do so now (the printer setup
utilities in HP/UX, AIX, Solaris 2.xx, and other systems will automatically
create the spool directory). The lpd spool directory is usually located in the
/usr/spool directory (check with your system manager to see if the
location is different for your system). To create a new spool directory, use
the mkdir command. For example, to create a spool directory for the
queue laser1, you would enter:
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/laser1
On some systems it is also necessary to start the daemon. This is done on
Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems with the lpc start command as shown
in the following example:
lpc start laser1
IP Address Configuration
The final step before printing is to program the IP address information into
the print server. This can be done in any of the following ways:
a)Printer front panel setting. (If your printer has a LCD front panel).
b)BRAdmin32 (for Windows 95/98/NT 4 using the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP
protocol)
c)DHCP, Reverse Arp (rarp), BOOTP
