I am having trouble getting our accounting program (on SCO 5.05) to print to a shared windows printer. We used to use a program that took care of this PCI print server or somehting like that. but when XP service pack 2 got installed somethign happened with the permissions and the files would print fine but would not delete out of the folder causing the fiel to print over and over. Anyways, I have installed the print services for UNIX on the XP box and configured a printer best as i could follow the instructions rom www.aplawrence.com. when i try a test print using
cat filename | lp -d unixtest
the print job just sits in the unix cue
i have also tried netcat with the command
cat filename | netcat -h 192.168.0.23 -p 515
515 is the lpr port opened by the unix print service on the windows xp box as best i can figure. when i try this command it appears to work but nothing comes out on the XP shared printer. when this command is run there is nothing in the printe cue so i do not know where the job goes. Please help if anyone has any thoughts.
