SCO printing over TCP/IP

[John Esak]

Uh, oh glaring oversight in my message below... I forgot  that if you use
the HP printer manager found in scoadmin and you have a non-HP printer...
you must also use a network printer buffer a la Jetdirect or most other
brands. I have never had a problem with Jetdirect, but have had many
problems with *other* brands.  The caveat is that the other brands must use
port 9100 which is what the HP printer manager expects 9 (and what all
Jetdirect devices use.
(for the first printer... if the Jetdirect has 3 ports on it the second and
third are 9101 and 9102.)

Sorry for the oversight.

John
