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
