SCO openserver 6 parallel port issues
I am having issues with SCO recognizing my parallel port. The port is being used so I can run dialogic using a dongle for the serial number but the port is not noticed. It is turned on in the bios and should work fine but when I attempt to run the software I get errno=6 and it appears to not be there. I also attempted using mkdev but because its 6 its supposed to set itself up. I am running the same software on another computer and it works fine the only diffrence is the system I am using know is an ISA board this might also affect it but I don't know. Is there a way to configure the port to recognize the dongle? If anyone can offer any assistance I would be very greatful Thankyou.

FOOMATIC-GETPJLOPTIONS(8)				      System Manager's Manual					 FOOMATIC-GETPJLOPTIONS(8)

NAME

       foomatic-getpjloptions - <put a short description here>

SYNOPSIS

       foomatic-getpjloptions device

       foomatic-getpjloptions hostname port

DESCRIPTION

       foomatic-getpjloptions  Sends  a  set of PJL commands and reads back the PJL options and status from a printer over a network connection or
       device bidirectional interface such as parallel, USB, serial.  printers to standard output. The output can be piped into foomatic-addpjlop-
       tions to add options to the database.

   Options
       device	 The interface to which a local printer is connected, e.g. /dev/lp0, /dev/usb/lp0, /dev/tty00, etc.  For a parallel port, you must
		 have bidirectional support enabled at the BIOS level and the parallel port driver must support  the  bidirectional  mode.   Check
		 your parallel port BIOS settings for  EPP/bi-directional mode.

       hostname  Host name or IP address of a network printer (HP JetDirect, DLINK, etc.).

       port	 Port  on  which  your	network printer listens for socket (Appsocket) connections.  Most common ports are 9100 (JetDirect), 10000
		 (DLINK).  Usually you can configure the port via a configuration interface.

EXIT STATUS

       foomatic-getpjloptions returns ???

AUTHOR

       Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> for the foomatic project using output from the associated binary.  Modified by Patrick Pow-
       ell <papowell at lprng.com> to provide betters support for network printers, error messages, and remove CR and FF from output.

WARNINGS

       Uni-directional	protocols  as remote LPD are not supported as no status is returned.  Some network print servers which attach to a printer
       parallel port do not support bidirectional mode.
