If you're trying to do H = Hardcopy, that should happen strictly from SCO 
to printer; what you use for terminal emulator should be irrelevant. Isn't 
that right?

And since you mention Anzio Lite and it's behavior during passthrough 
print, let me point out that if you had installed AnzioWin instead, that 
CAN interpret PCL-5 print codes and render output on any Windows-supported 
printer, with "proper formatting".
