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
