How to Configure Novell NetWare Printing Overview Brother Print/Fax servers allow NetWare client PCs to print jobs on the same printer as TCP/IP or other network protocol users. All NetWare jobs are spooled through the Novell server and delivered to the printer when it is available.
Page 59: General Information
General Information In order to use a Brother Print/Fax server on a NetWare network, one or more file servers must be configured with a print queue that the Print/Fax server can service. Users send their print requests to the file server's print queue, and the jobs are then spooled (either directly, or in the case of remote printer mode, via an intermediate Netware Print Server) to the appropriate Brother Print/Fax server.

BOOT Method (For MFC) Press (For DCP) Press Press DHCP. Press Stop/Exit Press Static mode In this mode the DCP/MFC IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked to the assigned address.
Page 92 -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type: ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd The Brother Print / Fax server will get the IP address from the rarp daemon when it is powered on. BOOTP mode BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway.
Page 93 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 / Fax server.
Page 94: Ip Address
STATIC, the DCP/MFC will attempt to determine its IP address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of the Brother network board in your DCP/MFC will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network.
Page 95: Gateway
You can register the machine name on the Network. This name is often referred to as a NetBIOS name; it will be the name that is registered by the WINS server on your network. Brother recommends the name BRN_XXXXXX (where XXXXXX is the last six digits of the Ethernet address) (up to 15 characters).
Page 96: Wins Config
WINS CONFIG This selection controls how the DCP/MFC obtains the IP address for the WINS Server. (For MFC) Press (For DCP) Press Press Press Stop/Exit Press Auto Automatically uses a DHCP request to determine the IP addresses for the primary and secondary WINS servers. You must set the BOOT Method to Auto for this feature to work.

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;...
Page 121 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/Fax server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the machine is powered on.
