Network shared printing

In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends and receives data to and from the Brother printer via a centrally controlled computer. This type of computer is often called a Server or a Print Server. Its job is to access print jobs from other computers and then control the printing of these jobs.

Windows

Windows TCP/IP
Also known as Server or Print Server

Network printer

Network Shared
In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment. The Server or the Print Server needs the TCP/IP Print Protocol configured. The Brother printer needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the printer is shared via the parallel or USB interface at the server.

Protocols

TCP/IP protocols and functionalities 1
Protocols are the standardized sets of rules for transmitting data on a network. Protocols allow the users to gain access to network-connected resources. The print server used on this Brother product supports the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocol. TCP/IP is the most popular set of protocols used for communication such as Internet and E-mail. This protocol can be used in almost all operating systems such as Windows, Macintosh and Linux. The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this Brother product.

DHCP/BOOTP/RARP

By using the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, the IP address can be automatically configured. Note To use the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, please contact your network administrator.
If you do not assign an IP address manually (using the BRAdmin software) or automatically (using a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server), the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.

DNS client

The Brother print server supports the Domain Name Service (DNS) client function. This function allows the print server to communicate with other devices by using its DNS name.

NetBIOS/IP

NetBIOS over IP basic functionality allows the Brother print server to appear in a Windows network neighborhood.

LPR/LPD

One of the standard printing protocols in a TCP/IP network.

Port9100

HP network printer compatible port.

SMTP client

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) client is used to send e-mails via Internet or Intranet.
Internet Printing Protocol (IPP Version 1.0) allows you to print documents directly to any accessible printer via the internet.
mDNS allows the Brother print server connected to a Brother printer to automatically configure itself to work in a Mac OS X Simple Network Configured system. (Mac OS X 10.2.4 or greater).

TELNET

The Brother print server supports TELNET server for command line configuration.

Using the HTTP (web browser) and the TCP/IP protocol to change the print server settings
A standard web browser (we recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later, or Netscape Navigator version 4.0 or later) can be used to change your print server settings using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). To use a web browser, you must have assigned an IP address to the print server.
Type http://printer_ip_address/ into your browser. (Where printer_ip_address is the IP address or the print server name) For example: http://192.168.1.2/ (if the printers IP address is 192.168.1.2.)
Note If you have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using Domain Name System, you can also enter the DNS name of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you can also enter the NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in the printer settings page. The NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node name and by default it will appear as BRN_xxxxxx where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.
Click Network Configuration. Enter a user name and a password. The User Name is admin and the default Password is access. Click OK. Click Network Configuration and then Configure TCP/IP. You can now change the printer server settings.
Network printing from Windows: basic TCP/IP Peer-to-Peer printing
If you are a Windows user and want to print using the TCP/IP protocol in a Peer-to-Peer environment, please follow the instructions in this chapter. This chapter explains how to install the network software and the printer driver which you will need to be able to print using your network printer. Note You must configure the IP address on your printer before you proceed with this chapter. If you havent done yet, see Chapter 2 first. Verify the host computer and print server are either on the same subnet, or that the router is properly configured to pass data between the two devices. The default password for Brother print servers is access.
For Windows 2000/XP users
By default, Windows 2000/XP systems install with all the necessary software required for you to be able to print. This section describes the most commonly used configuration, Standard TCP/IP Port printing. Windows 2000/XP users can also print via Internet using the IPP protocol. For more information, see Internet printing for Windows on page 5-1. If you have already installed the printer driver, jump to Printer driver already installed on page 3-2.

Windows will now ask you if you wish to print out a test page, select Yes and then select Finish. You have now finished installing the Peer-to-Peer Print (LPR) software.
Adding a second Brother LPR port 3
You do not re-run the install program to add a new Brother LPR port. Instead, go to the Start button, select Settings, and open the Printers window. Click the icon of the printer that you wish to configure, select File from the menu bar, and then Properties. Click the Details tab and then the Add Port button. In the Add Port dialog, select the Other radio button and then highlight Brother LPR port. Click OK and enter the port name. The default port name is BLP1. If you have already used this name, you will get an error message if you try to use it again, in which case use BLP2, etc. Once you have specified the port name, click the OK button. You will then see the Port Properties dialog. Enter the IP address of the printer that you wish to print to and click OK. You should now see the port that you have just created in the Print to the following port setting of the printer driver.
Other sources of information
See Chapter 2 of this Users Guide to learn how to configure the IP address of the printer.
Network printing from Windows: NetBIOS Peer-to-Peer printing
Brother print server range supports SMB (Server Message Block). This means that just like regular Windows PC's, Brother printers can appear in your network neighborhood. The main advantage of NetBIOS printing is that you are able to print from legacy DOS applications that are running on PC's that are connected to Microsoft networks. Note You must configure the IP address on your printer before you proceed with this chapter. See Chapter 2 for more information. The default password for Brother print servers is access. The default domain name of the print server is WORKGROUP, to change it use your web browser or the BRAdmin application.
Print server configuration for Windows 95/98/Me, Windows 2000/XP and Windows NT 4.0
Print server configuration
In order for this function to work, you must correctly change the domain name or workgroup name to match that of your network. Once this is done, the print server will appear automatically in your network neighborhood and you will be able to send print documents to it without having to install additional software. However, in some instances you may find that your Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT 4.0 systems may receive "Printer is busy" error messages when more than one person attempts to access the printer. In this instance Brother has provided the "Brother NetBIOS Port Monitor" software which allows users to continue spooling print jobs while the printer is busy, down or out of paper. The port monitor will hold the jobs until the printer is again available. When you install Windows 95/98/Me you are asked which workgroup you belong to. The default workgroup name for Windows 95/98/Me is WORKGROUP, however you could change this to anything you want. With Windows NT4.0, Microsoft introduced the concept of "Domains". A domain offers centralized security management whereas a workgroup offers distributed security management. The print server does not care if your network consists of a Workgroup or a Domain, the only thing you must tell it is the name of the workgroup or domain. The Brother print server automatically has a default workgroup/domain name of WORKGROUP. If you need to change name, you can configure the Brother print server to recognize this. There are three ways of doing this. (If you are unsure about the name of your workgroup or domain, look in the identification tab in your network applet).

You do not need to re-run the installation program to add a new NetBIOS port. Instead, click the Start button, select Settings, and open the Printers window. Click the icon of the printer that you wish to configure, select File from the menu bar, and then Properties.
Click the Details tab and click the Add Port button. In the Add Port dialog, select the Other radio button and then highlight Brother NetBIOS port. Click OK and enter the port name. The default port name is BNT1. If you have already used this name, you will get an error message if you try to use it again, in which case use BNT2, etc. Once you have specified the port name, click the OK button. You will then see the Port Properties Dialog. Enter the print server and port name of the printer that you wish to print to and click OK. You should now see the port that you have just created in the Print to the following port setting of the printer driver.
Click the Ports tab and click the Add Port button. In the Add Port dialog, highlight Brother NetBIOS port. Click New Port and enter the port name. The default port name is BNT1. If you have already used this name, you will get an error message if you try to use it again, in which case use BNT2, etc. Once you have specified the port name, click the OK button. You will then see the Port Properties Dialog. Enter the print server and port name of the printer that you wish to print to and click OK. You should now see the port that you have just created in the Print to the following port setting of the printer driver.
Visit http://solutions.brother.com for more information on network printing. See Chapter 2 of this Users Guide to learn how to configure the IP address of the printer.
Internet printing for Windows
Windows 2000/XP users can print using TCP/IP using the standard Network Printing software and IPP protocol software built into any Windows 2000/XP installation. Note You must configure the IP address on your printer before you proceed with this chapter. If you havent done yet, see Chapter 2 first. Verify the host computer and print server are either on the same subnet, or that the router is properly configured to pass data between the two devices. The default password for Brother print servers is access.
Windows 2000/XP IPP printing
Use the following instructions if you wish to use the IPP printing capabilities of Windows 2000/XP.
For Windows 2000: Go to the Start button, select Settings and then Printers. For Windows XP: Go to the Start button and select Printers and Faxes. For Windows 2000: Double click the Add Printer icon to get the Add Printer Wizard. For Windows XP: Click Add a printer to get the Add Printer Wizard. Click Next when you see the Welcome to the Add Printer Wizard screen. Select Local printer or Network printer. For Windows 2000: Make sure that you select Network Printer. For Windows XP: Make sure that you select A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer. Click Next. For Windows 2000: Select Connect to a printer on the Internet or on your intranet and then enter the following in the URL field: http://printer_ip_address:631/ipp (Where printer_ip_address is the IP address or the print server name). For Windows XP: Select Connect to a printer on the Internet or on a home or office network and then enter the following in the URL field: http://printer_ip_address:631/ipp (Where printer_ip_address is the IP address or the print server name).

When you click Next, Windows 2000/XP will make a connection with the URL that you specified.
If the printer driver has already been installed: If the appropriate printer driver is already installed on your PC, Windows 2000/XP will automatically use that driver for use. In this case, you will simply be asked if you wish to make the driver the default driver, after which the Driver installation Wizard will complete. You are now ready to print. If the printer driver has NOT been installed: One of the benefits of the IPP printing protocol is that it establishes the model name of the printer when you communicate with it. After successful communication you will see the model name of the printer automatically. This means that you do not need to inform Windows 2000 the type of printer driver to be used.
Click OK. You will then see the printer selection screen in the Add Printer Wizard. If your printer is not in the list of supported printers, click the Have Disk button. You will then be asked to insert the driver disk. Click the Browse button and select the CD-ROM or network share that contains the appropriate Brother printer driver. Now specify the model name of the printer. If the printer driver that you are installing does not have a Digital Certificate you will see a warning message. Click Yes to continue with the installation. The Add Printer Wizard will then complete. Click the Finish button and the printer is now configured and ready to print. To test the printer connection, print a test page.
Specifying a different URL
Please note that there are several possible entries that you can enter for the URL field. http://printer_ip_address:631/ipp This is the default URL and we recommend that you use this URL. Please note the Get More Info option will not display any printer data.
http://printer_ip_address:631/ipp/port1 This is for HP Jetdirect compatibility. Please note the Get More Info option will not display any printer data. http://printer_ip_address:631/ If you forget the URL details, you can simply enter the above text and the printer will still receive and process data. please note the Get More Info option will not display any printer data. If you are using the built in service names that the Brother print server supports, you can also use the following: (However, please note the Get More Info option will not display any printer data). http://printer_ip_address:631/brn_xxxxxx_p1 http://printer_ip_address:631/binary_p1 http://printer_ip_address:631/text_p1 http://printer_ip_address:631/pcl_p1 Where printer_ip_address is the IP address or the print server name.

Changing the configuration using a web browser
From a Macintosh, the easiest way to change the printer or print server parameters is to use a web browser. Simply connect to the printer using the format: http://ip_address where ip_address is the address of the printer. See Using the HTTP (web browser) and the TCP/IP protocol to change the print server settings on page 2-5.

Using the control panel

With the control panel you can do the following: Printing the Printer Settings Page See Printing the Printer Settings Page on page 7-2 for information on how to print the Printer Settings Page. Restoring the network settings to factory default See Restoring the network settings to factory default on page 7-2 for information on how to restore the network settings to factory default. Disabling the APIPA protocol See Disabling the APIPA protocol on page 7-3 for information on how to disable the APIPA protocol.

Printing the Printer Settings Page
Note Node name: Node name appears in the Printer Settings Page. The default Node name is "BRN_xxxxxx" ("xxxxxx" is the last six digits of Ethernet address.). The Printer Settings Page prints a report listing all the current printer settings including the network print server settings. You can print the Printer Settings Page using the printer control panel.
Make sure that the front cover is closed and the power cord is plugged in. Turn on the printer and wait until the printer is in the Ready state. Press the Go button three times. The printer will print the current printer settings.
Restoring the network settings to factory default
If you wish to reset the print server back to its default factory settings (resetting all information such as the password and IP address information), please follow these steps:
Turn off the printer. Make sure that the front cover is closed and power cord is plugged in. Hold down the Go button as you turn on the power switch. Keep the Go button pressed down until the Toner, Drum and Paper LEDs light up. Release the Go button. Make sure that the Toner, Drum and Paper LEDs are off.

Troubleshooting

This chapter describes procedures for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with a Brother print server, it is divided into the following sections: General problems Network print software installation problems Printing problems Protocol-specific troubleshooting

General problems

CD-ROM is inserted, but does not start automatically
If your computer does not support Autorun, the menu will not start automatically after inserting the CD-ROM. In this case, execute Start.exe in the root directory of the CD-ROM.
How to reset the Brother print server to factory default
You can reset the print server back to its default factory settings (resetting all information such as the password and IP address information). See Restoring the network settings to factory default on page 7-2.

Installation problems

The Brother print server is not found during setup of the network print software installation or from the printer driver of the Brother printer in Windows. The Brother print server is not found using the Simple Network Configuration capabilities of Mac OS X.
Make sure you have completed the IP address setting of the Brother print server according to Chapter 2 of this Users Guide before installing the network print software or printer driver. Check the following:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, is on-line and ready to print.
Check to see if there is any LED activity. Brother print servers have two LEDs on the back panel of the printer. The upper side LED shows Link status. The lower side LED shows Activity (Receive/Transmit) status. No light: If both LEDs are off, then the print server is not connected to the network. Link LED is green: The Link LED will be green if the print server is connected to a Ethernet network.
Print the Printer Settings Page and check if the settings such as IP address settings are correct for your network. The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP address. Verify that the IP address is correctly loaded into the print server. And make sure that no other nodes on the network have this IP address. For information on how to print the Printer Settings Page, see Printing the Printer Settings Page on page 7-2. Verify that the print server is on your network as follows:
For Windows Try pinging the print server from the host operating system command prompt with the command: ping ipaddress Where ipaddress is the print server IP address (note that in some instances it can take up to two minutes for the print server to load its IP address after setting the IP address). For Macintosh For Mac OS 9.1 to 9.2 (1) From the Apple menu, open the Chooser. (2) Click the Brother Laser (IP) icon, and make sure that your print server name appears in the right frame. If it is visible, then the connection is good. Otherwise, go to Step 5. For Mac OS X 10.2.4 or greater (1) From the Go menu, select Applications. (2) Open the Utilities folder. (3) Double-click the Printer Setup Utility icon. (4) Click Add.

(5) Make the following selection. Make sure that your print server appears. If it is visible, then the connection is good. Otherwise, go to Step 5.
If you have tried 1 to 4 above and it does not work, then reset the print server back to the default factory settings and try from the initial setup again. For information how to reset to the default factory settings, see Restoring the network settings to factory default on page 7-2. Check if a personal firewall such as ICF (Internet Connecting Firewall) for Windows XP is running on your computer. If it is running, temporarily turn it off and try again.
Note If none of the above steps are successful, there is almost certainly a hardware or network problem!

Printing problems

Print job is not printed
Make sure the status and configuration of the print server. Check following:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, is on-line and ready to print. Print the Printer Settings Page of the printer and check if the settings such as IP address settings are correct for your network. The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP address. Verify that the IP address is correctly loaded into the print server. And make sure that no other nodes on the network have this IP address.
Verify that the print server is on your network as follows:
For Windows (1) Try pinging the print server from the host operating system command prompt with the command: ping ipaddress Where ipaddress is the print server IP address (note that in some instances it can take up to two minutes for the print server to load its IP address after setting the IP address). (2) If a successful response is received, then proceed to Windows 95/98/Me and Windows NT4.0 Peer-to-Peer print (LPR) troubleshooting, and Windows 2000/XP IPP troubleshooting. Otherwise, proceed to Step 4. For Macintosh For Mac OS 9.1 to 9.2 (1) From the Apple menu, open the Chooser. (2) Click the Brother Laser (IP) icon, and make sure that your print server name appears in the right frame. If it is visible, then the connection is good. Otherwise, go to Step 4. For Mac OS X 10.2.4 or greater (1) From the Go menu, select Applications. (2) Open the Utilities folder. (3) Double-click the Printer Setup Utility icon. (4) Click Add. (5) Make the following selection. Make sure that your print server appears. If it is visible, then the connection is good.
If you have tried 1 to 4 above and it does not work, then reset the print server back to the default factory settings and try from the initial setup again. For information how to reset to the default factory settings, see Restoring the network settings to factory default on page 7-2

Windows 2000/XP IPP troubleshooting
Want to use a different Port number other than 631.
If you are using Port 631 for IPP printing, you may find that your firewall may not let the print data through. If this is the case, use a different port number (port 80), or configure your Firewall to allow Port 631 data through. To send a print job using IPP to a printer using Port 80 (the standard HTTP port) enter the following when configuring your Windows 2000/XP system. http://ip_address/ipp
Get More Info option in Windows 2000 not working
If you are using a URL of: http://ip_address:631 or http://ip_address:631/ipp, the Get More Info option in Windows 2000 will not function. If you wish to use the Get More Info option, use the following URL: http://ip_address This will then force Windows 2000/XP to use Port 80 to communicate with the Brother print server.
Web browser troubleshooting (TCP/IP)
If you can not connect to the print server using your web browser it may be worth checking the Proxy Settings of your browser. Look in the Exceptions setting and if necessary, type in the IP address of the print server. This will stop your PC from trying to connect to your ISP or proxy server every time you wish to look at the printer server. Make sure that you are using the proper web browser, we recommend Netscape Navigator version 4.0 or later/ Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later.

Appendix A

Using services
A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the Brother print server. The Brother print server provides the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command in the Brother print server remote console to see a list of available services): Enter HELP at the command prompt for a list of supported commands.
Service (Example) BINARY_P1 TEXT_P1 PCL_P1 BRN_xxxxxx_P1 TCP/IP binary, NetBIOS service TCP/IP text service (adds carriage return after each line feed) PCL service (switches PJL-compatible printer to PCL mode) TCP/IP binary Definition
Where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for example, BRN_310107_P1).
Other ways to set the IP address (for advanced users and administrators)
For information on how to configure your network printer using the BRAdmin Professional utility or a web browser, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 2-3.
Using DHCP to configure the IP address
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have a DHCP server in your network, the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services. Note If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT METHOD to static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the BRAdmin Professional utility.

Using BOOTP to configure the IP address
BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. In order to use BOOTP to configure the IP address make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your host computer (it should appear in the /etc/services file on your host as a real service; type man bootpd or refer to your system documentation for information). BOOTP is usually started up via the /etc/inetd.conf file, so you may need to enable it by removing the # in front of the bootp entry in that file. For example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file would be:
#bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -i
Depending on the system, this entry might be called bootps instead of bootp. Note In order to enable BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the # (if there is no #, then BOOTP is already enabled). Then edit the BOOTP configuration file (usually /etc/bootptab) and enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address and the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the print server. Unfortunately, the exact format for doing this is not standardized, so you will need to refer to your system documentation to determine how to enter this information (many UNIX systems also have template examples in the bootptab file that you can use for reference). Some examples of typical /etc/bootptab entries include:

BRN_310107 1

00:80:77:31:01:07 192.168.1.2
BRN_310107:ht=ethernet:ha=008077310107:\ ip=192.168.1.2:
Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to BOOTP requests if you have not included a download filename in the configuration file; if this is the case, simply create a null file on the host and specify the name of this file and its path in the configuration file. As with rarp, the print server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the printer is powered on.
Using RARP to configure the IP address
The Brother print servers IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your host computer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create it) with an entry similar to the following:

00:80:77:31:01:07

BRN_310107
Where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the print server and the second entry is the name of the print server (the name must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file).
If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the command can be rarpd, rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a or something else; type man rarpd or refer to your system documentation for additional information). To verify that the rarp daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the following command:
