SCO Printing commands! Help PLEASE!
Hello All,
I am upgrading a server from SCO to LINUX (CENTOS) and have about 50 odd printers which i have transferred.
The only problem is, that they have hard coded printer commands which my new version of CUPS does not understand.
For example:
"-o nb -tl60"
Once I know the translation then i can edit them. So i suppose im asking for a big list of commands LOL!
Thanks

cupsenable
cupsenable(8) Apple Inc. cupsenable(8)
NAME
cupsdisable, cupsenable - stop/start printers and classes
SYNOPSIS
cupsdisable [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -c ] [ -h server[:port] ] [ -r reason ] [ --hold ] destination(s)
cupsenable [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -c ] [ -h server[:port] ] [ --release ] destination(s)
DESCRIPTION
cupsenable starts the named printers or classes while cupsdisable stops the named printers or classes.
OPTIONS
The following options may be used:
-E Forces encryption of the connection to the server.
-U username
Uses the specified username when connecting to the server.
-c Cancels all jobs on the named destination.
-h server[:port]
Uses the specified server and port.
--hold
Holds remaining jobs on the named printer. Useful for allowing the current job to complete before performing maintenance.
-r "reason"
Sets the message associated with the stopped state. If no reason is specified then the message is set to "Reason Unknown".
--release
Releases pending jobs for printing. Use after running cupsdisable with the --hold option to resume printing.
CONFORMING TO
Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#". Also,
printer and class names are not case-sensitive.
The System V versions of these commands are disable and enable, respectively. They have been renamed to avoid conflicts with the bash(1)
build-in commands of the same names.
The CUPS versions of disable and enable may ask the user for an access password depending on the printing system configuration. This dif-
fers from the System V versions which require the root user to execute these commands.
