Technical support specialists for these companies can usually answer configuration questions if you provide them with the equivalent UNIX configuration information tell them that the print server looks like a remote UNIX host computer running the Ipd line printer daemon If you have not created a spool directory for the Brother print server on your UNIX host computer you will need to do so now the printer setup utilities in HP UX AIX Solaris 2 xx and other systems will automatically create the spool directory The Ipd spool directory is usually located in the usr spool directory check with your system manager to see if the location is different for your system To create a new spool directory use the mkdir command For example to create a spool directory for the queue laser1 you would enter mkdir usr spool lpd laserl 1 13 UNIX PRINTING On some systems it is also necessary to start the daemon This is done on Berkeley compatible UNIX systems with the 1pc start command as shown in the following example lpc start laserl Other Sources of Information Refer to chapter 9 of this User s Guide to learn how to configure the IP address of the printer UNIX PRINTING 1 14 TCP IP Printing Printing from Windows NT 4 0 Windows 2000 XP LAN Server and Warp Server Overview Users of Windows NT 4 0 can print directly to a network ready Brother printer using the TCP IP protocol Microsoft Windo
