lpd printing and a IP based printer on SCO
I am attempting to setup an IP based printer in a SCO environment. It is a cognitive printer. I attempted to add it via the HP interface but I could not get anything sent from the spooler to the printer in SCO?
My questions is or are should this be setup as a local or remote printer? When I read about local and remote, remote is when you want one SCO server to use a printer defined on another SCO box. In my setup, I have only one SCO box. The cognitive printer is IP based on the network?? How should I connect it? I can print to it via Windozs...
Thanking you in advance for any input into the issue....

DIRECTOMATIC(1) General Commands Manual DIRECTOMATIC(1)
NAME
directomatic - Print without spooler
SYNOPSIS
directomatic -P <printdef> [-J jobtitle] [-o option=value [...]] [file]
DESCRIPTION
Directomatic is a filter script to print with free software printer drivers without the need of a print spooler. It is designed to be used
together with a Foomatic printer definition file.
Options
-P <printdef>
where printdef is the printer definition file to use.
-J <jobtitle>
where job title will be printed in the head line of every page of a plain text job.
-o option=value
Set an arbitrary option.
file The file to print.
Commands
Directomatic will print from standard input unless a file to print is specified on the command line. If your printer definition file is in
/etc/foomatic/direct or ~/.foomatic/direct you do not need to specify its path. Put a (instructions in the file) to redirect the output of
directomatic to your printer instead of standard output. To make normal users able to print this way add them to group lp and make sure the
appropriate printer device file /dev/lpX is group-writable.
See http://www.linuxprinting.org/direct-doc.html
FILES
/etc/foomatic/direct/<queue>
The foomatic printer definition file.
EXIT STATUS
directomatic returns 0 unless something unexpected happens.
