SCO 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).

10Select Hardwired as the Device.

11Select No for the Require banner field.

Older SCO Unix Systems

The Brother NC-9100h Print/Fax servers support the FTP protocol. Earlier SCO Unix systems are often configured to print using the FTP protocol.

IBM AS/400

To use a Brother Print/Fax 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/ Fax server's TCP/IP address to the AS/400 host table.
