Brother Multi-Protocol Print Server

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 4

Configure the /etc/printcap file on each host computer to

specify the local print queue, the print server name (als o called

remote machine or rm), and the print server ser vice n ame (also

called remote printer, remote queue, or rp), and the spoo l

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, incl uding

Linux, Sun OS (but not Solaris 2.xx), Silicon Grap hics (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 print cap file,

but this file is automatically configured via the rlpconf

command).

Make sure this information is added to the end of the pr intcap

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 t hrough spool

directory /usr/spool/lpd/laser1. If you are printing

binary graphics files, you would use the service BINA RY_P1

instead of TEXT_P1.
