Confused
I couldn't understand what IP addresses had to do with your problem, until I reread your original post and saw the word 'server' between usb and attached to SCO.
My original concept was that the printer was directly connected to the USB port on the SCO box, but now I think that you are using a box similar to a HP JetDirect with usb ports instead of parallel. If so have you set up the printer using the HP Network Printer Manager (option 2), or the Printer Manager (option4) in Printers in scoadmin.

Re: Post 7 - DecLaser Driver
The print driver that is used is located in /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces/model.orig/DEST, where DEST is the destination name of the printer.
This file is a copy of the file in /usr/spool/lp/model renamed to the destination name.
You will see that the files in the model directory are all 0444 so they can not be changed inadvertently.
You can copy one of these into the model.orig directory to change the print characteristics, or you can edit the one in the model.orig directly (maybe to remove banner pages.)
