| hi all I have a printer that have the network card and I would like to print from some sco openserver using this printer. Is there the possibility to make a "fakeprint" system? 4 exaple, my users are usually to launch the command lp -o nobanner -dlp1 document_to_print.ext Is there the possibility to make something like lp -o noabnner -dIP_OF_MY_PRINTER documento_to_print.ext ? Sorry 4 my english but I think U understand all the same. Greetings Francesco Cabigliera |

The standard OpenServer print system supports remote networked printers. (there's nothing really "fake" about the way this is done). You don't mention the make and model of printer & network card. Most of them support the "LPD" print method. Use "scoadmin printer" and set up a "remote printer". Many networked printers support direct printing through a TCP port. This is the "netcat" method preferred by most OpenServer experts.

Normally you would assign the printer a name rather than use its IP-address as a destination. For example "SalesLaser". You have to first configure the printing system to recognise whatever follows -d. You can also make nobanner the default and provide a system default printer to simplify the commands that people type ("lp filename"). -- Ian Wilson. |

No idea what you really want but see: http://aplawrence.com/SCOFAQ/FAQ_getnetcat.html http://aplawrence.com/SCOFAQ/FAQ_virtualprint.html See if one of those rings a bell. -- tony@aplawrence.com Unix/Linux/Mac OS X resources: http://aplawrence.com Get paid for writing about tech: http://aplawrence.com/publish.html |
