IBM/AS400

To use a Brother print server with an IBM AS/400 running IBM’s TCP/IP gateways

services for OS/400 (the OS/400 system must be v3.1 or later)

Use the CFGTCP command at your OS/400 prompt to add the print server’s TCP/IP

address to the AS/400 host table.

Use the following one-line OS/400 command to create the LPD queue:

CRTOUTQ OUTQ(<queuename> RMSTSYS

(*INTNETADR) RMTPRTO(<service>)

AUTOSTRWTR(1) CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE (*OTHER)

MFRTYPMDL (<driver>)

INTNETADR(‘<ipaddress>’) TEXT

(‘<description>’)

where <queuename> is the new AS/400 print queue name, <service> is the print

server service name, BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1, <driver> is the OS/400 printer

driver name (*HP4 is recommended if in doubt), and <ipaddress> is the IP address

of the print server. Note that the IP address and description must be enclosed in

single quotes.

Other Systems

Other systems use similar programs to set up Print servers. These programs will

generally ask for the following information:

Requested information: You should use:

remote printer Binary or Text service name

remote host computer name Any name (must match the name in the

printcap file, if any) or in some cases,

you may enter the print server IP

address here

remote host IP address IP address of print server.

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

lpd line printer daemon).
