| JP, 
| 
| It appears that you are heading me in the right direction
| 
| I reviewed the page that you recommended: http://wdb1.sco.com/kb/showta?taid=126336
| 
| And that led me to this, which appears to be exactly what I am looking for (assuming I have a firm grasp on this): http://wdb1.sco.com/kb/showta?taid=126532
| 
| However, when i attempt to run the command (without the -E because it will not run with it), I get the following error.
| 
| # /usr/lib/lpadmin -p xc550 -v socket://192.168.254.60:9100 -m xrx550XC.ppd
| UX:lpadmin: ERROR: "socket://192.168.254.60:9100" doesn't exist.
|            TO FIX: Create the file, special device, or FIFO
|                    for the -v option before running this
|                    command.
| 
| I have reviewed socket creation in the manual, but that does not appear to apply to this.  any idea how to create whatever SCO is looking for?  thank you very much, 


I've never tried to use any command line instructions for CUPS printers.
Just fire up a graphical desktop on your SCO machine and enter the CUPS
console at http://localhost:631 (or do it from a windows browser pointed
to http://SCO6-IP-number:631). It isn't hard to use.

Or better, forget CUPS and follow Bill's Campbell's suggestion. Aren't
you already using filePro print codes for two trays?  Are they along the
lines of "$1b &l#H", where # is 1, 2, 3 or 4?  Concoct similar codes
with # being a single digit other than the two already used for trays
one and two.  HP did NOT assign them sequentially.  ;-(
