I was not able to get the ML530 up & running so I had to
get the install done on a ML380 ... I will get that ML530
to work in due time.  Thanks!

That said, I am facing a totally new problem.  This one
is with the lpd and/or rlp.  I include rlp because all of
my printers at set off a print server and they are all
configured within the /etc/printcap table.

The error:
            lp: connect: No such file or directory
            jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.

This error comes up as I send something to print on
any printer.  Here is an example entry as defined in
/etc/printcap

highspeed:\
        :lp=:rm=mif1lpd:rp=hs:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/lp

I have both directories
/usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/printers/highspeed
and
/usr/spool/lpd/highspeed

Search SCO TAs and cannot find anything besides 
an aritcle that speaks of OSS449E 

http://wdb1.sco.com/kb/showta?taid=107677&qid=32013977&sid=2076362581&pgnum=1

The truth is that I cannot make the relation between
my problem and the article and so I cannot tell if the
patch is the solution I need and I am reluctant to install
something I'm not 100% sure I need nor what it really does.

Any help will be appretiated ... Thank you all in advance!
