Printing from Unix/Linux Using TCP/IP
Overview
Brother print 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. As with all protocols,
TCP/IP communications can proceed concurrently while other
protocols are active, this means that UNIX, NetWare, Apple, and
other computers can share the same Brother print server over an
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 Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol
automatically assigns an IP address from the range:
169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the
APIPA protocol, you can disable it using printer control panel (If
applicable). If your printer doesn't have an LCD panel, see
chapter 3 of the printer User's Guide).
2 If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a
Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer
control panel (If applicable), the BRAdmin Professional / Web
BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP
address to the printer.
3 Refer to chapter 10 of this Guide to learn how to configure the
IP address on your printer.
4 The default password for Brother print servers is access.
