printing to KM Bizhub 421 SCO/filepro

[Alias for filepro]

I just looked at the on-line specifications for the 421 and they say the printer accepts PCL5e/c in addition to 6. The specs I read were at:
http://kmbs.konicaminolta.us/main/content/products/attachments/productdocs/bizhub_421_spec_sheet_V3.pdf

In fact, the specs are very similar to my old bizhub C250 and my new (last week) bizhub C203, except that the C250 and C203 are color devices.

I have no trouble sending documents to my bizhub from my filePro / OpenServer 5.0.5 server using standard RLP and PCL commands. Here's my /etc/printcap entry.

konica:\
        :mx#0:lp=:rm=192.150.112.25:rp=PORT1:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/konica:

I also do standard LP printing to this device by using the filter scripts you can find at:
ftp://ftp.microlite.com/pub/pcl_filter_new

Unrelated, except that we're talking about printing, if Jim Asman or anyone is interested, new Konica bizhub printers support a VERY long list of PJL commands. The Wiindows drivers send around 60 of them with a normal job. I'll be happy to post these or send them privately if anyone is interested in them.

Trying to get the ability to print to a printer/copier/scanner that is a
Konica Minolta Bizhub 421 from SCO Openserver 5.0.5 with new filepro 5.6

Client's vendor suggested using HP LaserJet 4 drivers out of Unix and it
should work....but...uhh.....not so simple apparently...ha
