General TCP/IP Unix Host Configuration | Brother MFC-8840DN manual

5When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1.

TCP/IP

Brother Print/Fax 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/Fax servers also support the FTP protocol. This protocol can be used to send print jobs from Unix systems.

The Brother Print/Fax server is pre-configured to run on a TCP/IP network with a minimum of setup. The only mandatory configuration of the Print/Fax 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 machine control panel.

For setting the IP address of the Print/Fax server, see Chapter 11 of this user guide or the Quick Setup Guide

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 for additional information.

1Configure the /etc/hosts file on each UNIX host that needs to communicate with the Print/Fax 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_310107
