Parallel port Printing in SCO OSR6
Hi,
I am trying to add a parallel printer to my SCO OSR6 server, yet when I run mkdev parallel it just brings up the message: "Parallel Ports are configured automatically in SCO Openserver 6".
So when I try and add a local printer, no /dev/lp# ports are shown in the list, only serial ports are shown.
I had a look on the SCO website and it said to add the port manually using dcu and I have tried that but it still doesn't show up.
Help please

How do or what do I need to add PCI / PCIe (PCI Express) parallel ports add-on adapters to OpenServer 6.0.0? OpenServer 5 could see PCI slots but OpenServer 6.0.0 (Original CD or the Re-cut one) required a maintenance pack to be installed? Is this right and how do I check to see if these work? (2 Replies)

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. Foomatic Project 2001-05-07 FOOMATIC-GETPJLOPTIONS(8)
