Anybody here a SCO OSR6 Printer Guru?

[James Flanagan]

Ken, 

it is definitely the right ip and port


[james at MBPr2013 ~]$ telnet 192.168.254.60 9100

Trying 192.168.254.60...

Connected to 192.168.254.60.

Escape character is '^]'.


What is more is that this Server already prints to this printer on that IP and Port via a printer defined in /etc/printcap just fine (albeit to just the 2 trays).  I just need to be able to print to all 5 trays via the ppd file, from the command line.  thanks,
