im sorry let me stand corrected.
i think i understand your situation now.
what you have is a serial and a parallel printer connected to the server.
not a network printer (ethernet w/nic and IP configured to it)
the reason why youre seeing it on the network neighborhood is probably VISION FS...
if the windows machines are on the network (meaning with NICs and IPs assigned to them) then you dont need the serial port anymore.
just configure the printer on the windows machine (control panel and printer configuration) and your problem is solved.
you will be able to print from windows...
lpstat -t if it says /dev/null then its configured to be a network printer.
check host file if theres an IP assigned to it.
on windows machince check and see if the printer IP points to the same printer.
when you say that the unix server has a network printer setup to it...do you mean that the printer is a network printer? with an assigned IP or is it connected directly to an SCO box? and where else are you trying to print from aside from the unix box? windows program?
visit Dell's suport website and enter your machine's service ID tag (usually alphanumeric)and enter the operating system of your machine. it shold be able to tell you what PERC you need for your specific driver you need.
when you are in mkdev tape (installing scsi). you can type in...
Hi!
instead of going to Printer Manager, go to HP Network Printer Manager - Add printer to spooler - Model script name is "dumb"
Then go to host file and edit
add the ip address assigned to the jetdirect
do a test page:
#lp -dPRINTER /etc/hosts
hope that will help
