Tina,
I'm using a Brother HL1870N printer and it accepts the gateway address
via ISC DHCP Server V3.0.6 (running on Ubuntu 8.04):
***
I got these settings by telneting to my printer
and using 'access' as the password (its the default)
show ip
IP is Enabled
IP address 192.168.1.30 Boot tries 3
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Boot method DHCP
IP Gateway 192.168.1.10 Max window 4096
(via DHCP 192.168.1.10)
LPD banner Disabled Timeout 60 min
LPD retry Enabled
LPD type TYPE1
Service
BRN_346541_P1
Port TCP port
P1 9100
Local>
[you can get the same info by going to the printer's webpage
and looking at network -> configure TCP/IP (in my case)]

Doug Rorem
