fakeprint is possible under sco?

[Tadan]

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

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. See

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").

No idea what you really want but see:

See if one of those rings a bell.
