Exclamation Printing from SCO 5.05... to XP Shared Printer

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.

The files would not delete out of WHAT folder - and is this folder on the UNIX box or the XP box? It seems to me that you need to fix the XP box, not the UNIX box. That is where the error started from by changing/adding software updates.
