While I clear the dust from my memory cells, let me ask:<br>
<br>
1) Are you using Anzio on the other end?<br>
<br>
2) What terminal type is Anzio emulating? VT-something or SCOANSI, I hope?<br>
<br>
3) What happens when you try to print from FP? Nothing, or it displays on the screen, or what?<br>
<br>
4) Have you tried setting PFPT on?<div><div class="m_4689814732983909485h5"><br>

I find myself dealing with a SCO Unix machine after a long absence.<br>
<br>
I'm trying to get passthrough printing working through filePro<br>
../fp/lib/config printer configuration.<br>
<br>
I use a script pulled from Anziowin web site long ago, and I doubt I<br>
changed it at all.<br>
<br>
The script (I call it /usr/local/scripts/passprt):<br>
<<<<br>
#!/bin/sh<br>
# Anzio-ized passthrough printing.<br>
<br>
/usr/bin/printf "\034receive quiet\035" #Eliminate remaining messages<br>
/usr/bin/printf "\034flushtimer 0\035" #turn off the print flush timer<br>
/usr/bin/printf "\033[5i" #Set pass-thru print on<br>
/bin/cat $*<br>
/usr/bin/printf "\033[4i" #Set pass-thru print off<br>
/usr/bin/printf "\034flush\035" #Print it Now!<br>
/usr/bin/printf "\034flushtimer 5\035" #Reset flush time to default (cler<br>
k use?)<br>
/usr/bin/printf "\034receive quiet off\035" #Reset transfer mode<br>

<br>
In Linux I'd add a printer in ../fp/lib/config with a line line like:<br>
printer21=passthru,printwiz,| /usr/local/scripts/passprt, Passthru terminal<br>
<br>
Not working on SCO.<br>
<br>
I've checked and if I login on SCO as user filepro and do something like:<br>
ls -ld * | /usr/local/scripts/passprt<br>
I get what I want happening.<br>
<br>
How can I get similar pass through printing done in filepro on SCO?<br>
<br>
Thanks all.<br>
<br>
