I am currently struggling with attempting to print text files on a SCO 5.0.7 server to a network printer. The printer is an Hp LJ P2015dn There is an existing printer set up, and when I do a:
Code:
lp -d myprinter /etc/hosts
the first line of the hosts file is all that prints. I even attempted to use "netcat" to send text directly to the printer using:
Code:
cat /etc/hosts | netcat -h myprinter -p 9100
I continue to get the same results, only the very first line in the hosts file will print. I have attempted this on other text files and still the 1st line is all that prints. Please help.

Hello group.
I recently upgraded my company's server from an IBM P520 w/AIX 5.1 to a new Power 8 w/AIX 7.2. The old server used serial printing and we turned off the print queing feature. We did this because we have many custom forms and did not want a que/spooling situation where a print job... (1 Reply)

enable
enable(1) User Commands enable(1)NAME
enable, disable - enable/disable LP printers
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/enable printer...
/usr/bin/disable [-c | -W] [ -r [reason]] printer...
DESCRIPTION
The enable command activates printers, enabling them to print requests submitted by the lp command. enable must be run on the printer
server.
The disable command deactivates printers, disabling them from printing requests submitted by the lp command. By default, any requests that
are currently printing on printer will be reprinted in their entirety either on printer or another member of the same class of printers.
The disable command must be run on the print server.
Use lpstat -p to check the status of printers.
enable and disable only effect queueing on the print server's spooling system. Executing these commands from a client system will have no
effect on the server.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported for use with disable:
-c Cancels any requests that are currently printing on printer. This option cannot be used with the -W option. If the printer
is remote, the -c option will be silently ignored.
-W Waits until the request currently being printed is finished before disabling printer. This option cannot be used with the
-c option. If the printer is remote, the -W option will be silently ignored.
-r [reason] Assigns a reason for the disabling of the printer(s). This reason applies to all printers specified. This reason is
reported by lpstat -p. Enclose reason in quotes if it contains blanks. The default reason is "unknown reason" for the
existing printer, and "new printer" for a printer added to the system but not yet enabled.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported for both enable and disable:
printer The name of the printer to be enabled or disabled. Specify printer using atomic name. See printers.conf(4) for information
regarding the naming conventions for atomic names.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
non-zero An error occurred.
FILES
/var/spool/lp/* LP print queue.
