CHAPTER 7 APPLETALK (ETHERTALK) TCP/IP PRINTING 

7-2

 

 
Your Brother Printer is compatible with the standard Apple LaserWriter 8 printer 
driver (earlier versions of the LaserWriter drivers may crash or cause PostScript 
errors on large networks). If you do not have the LaserWriter 8 driver you must 
install them. Consult your Macintosh documentation for instructions on how to 
do this. 
 
Before you try to use the Brother print server, you must firstly enable the 
EtherTalk protocol from the Network Control Panel on the Macintosh. If the 
EtherTalk protocol is not selected, or the Network Control Panel does not exist, 
you must use Apple's Network Installer software to add these capabilities. 
 
Please ensure that you install the appropriate PPD file supplied with your printer. 
You will find a "BR-Script  PPD installer" icon which will copy the necessary 
files across from the CD-ROM supplied with the printer. 
 

 

 

The above screenshot is from a Brother HL-1200 series printer driver. However, 
you will see a similar screen for all Brother printers that include a Macintosh 
printer driver. 
 
 
 

 
Once the print server is installed and the printer is powered on, the Brother print 
server AppleTalk service name (default is BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT, where 
"xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address) should 
appear in the Chooser.  
 
You can find the service name and MAC address by printing out the printer 
configuration page. Refer to the User’s Guide for information on how to print the 
configuration page on your print server.
