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
