Thank you for all the responses I've received. Just so I'm clear about my intent and explanation, we are talking about this as a replacement to the (H)ardcopy selection at the bottom of the filePro screen? That is where the issue is.
Can you print a text file using the lpr command inside the Alpha com window?
Sort of confusing about the plumbing you are talking about. Spooling the printing from the SCO Unix server, or are you sending things to the local workstation punching out there, so the job gets spooled on the workstation and printed to a windows networked printer?
What does did folks at omnicrontech.com say about printing from a scounix application through the client if that is how you are printing?
Does it work when you use Putty as a telnet/ssh client?
Does it work when you use AnzioWin demo version as telnet/ssh client?
