<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You could put a netcat or rlpr command right in
filepri but I would still use lp in filepro, use netcat in the printer interface
script in the OS.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>lp is a spooler and you want that. Let filepro feed
jobs to the spooler as fast as it wants, let the spooler do it's job of
collecting jobs and feeding them one at a time to the printer. The printer
probably has some ability to spool up jobs too but the OS will do that a lot
better.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What you want is to know how to configure that
printer and that print-server in the OS, which is better asked on
comp.unix.sco.misc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I myself use these:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is technically all the necessary info
right there at those links, terse as it is, but really it could use some
expanding I guess.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unfortunately I don't have time to help in too
much. If you google "osr5 netcat" or "netcat printing"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You get several more detaled articles that are all
variations on the same idea.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I happen to think mine is the most convenient &
flexible way (it's all I've used for years, tons of boxes, without a
hitch) but they all ultimately work and some of the other articles are very
clear and describe every step in full exact detail.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You will still need to know info about your printer
and it's built-in print-server. Does it support raw tcp? (it may call this
"jetdirect protocol"), does it support lpr/lpd? If it supports lpd, what
are the queue names? </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>If it supports both raw
tcp and lpd, which one does it do more reliably? Probably that will
require you testing, and that's where my script above comes in handy, it's
trivial to switch a printer from netcat to lpd or back, or switch it's IP, etc
just by editing the line for that printer in /etc/printers, without disrupting
anything else on the system. filepro or anything else never sees and difference
and you don't even have to go into scoadmin or restart the spooler
service.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> okay so I have run this script and installed the printer.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> On the filePro side, in Printer Maintenance, all my other "normal"
printers use</DIV>
<DIV> lp -d<printer name> -s to send print jobs to it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> What do I need to have here for the new BizHub printer I added....I
assume a</DIV>
<DIV> netcat xxxxxxxxxx command rather than lp -d<printer
name> -s ???</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> thanks - hopefully I'm getting closer</DIV>
