printing to KM Bizhub 421 SCO/filepro

[scooter6 at gmail.com]

  Jose -

  That link doesn't appear to work.

  What I'm looking for is a solution where ALL of our printing - even for
night jobs, etc.....all the printing that agents use
  here is all initiated from filePro.....so, not sure having terminal
emulation is the way to go to handle ALL this
  Currently there are 2 printers setup (both Okidata - a 20DX and a 24DX)
these are both network printers and are simply
  sent lp -d<printer name> commands for anything that is scripted and in
filePro I have them setup with their own printer
  name obviously and filepro prints to them using an okidata print table I
made (i.e. initialize is  $1b &l 7.2C)
  So, not sure really where to go from here......but hoping there is a
pretty easy solution....I'm supposed to leave the
  clients side tomorrow......

  Is there a simple tutorial anywhere that explains how to use netcat? (I
will check the man pages now to see if I can figure
  it out as well)
