Unix Printing

Printing from Unix/Linux Using TCP/IP

Overview

Brother Print/Fax 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, set APIPA to Off using the machine control 
panel. For more information, see 

APIPA

 on page 10-9. If the 

APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother 
Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control 
panel, the BRAdmin Professional utility, Web BRAdmin 
software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the 
machine.

To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see 

Chapter 11

 of this User’s Guide.

3

The default password for Brother Print/Fax servers is 

access

4

The default name for a Brother Print/Fax server is usually 

BRN_xxxxxx

 (where 

xxxxxx

 is the last six digits of the 

Ethernet address of the Print/Fax server).
