tep0583 is correct to say that it must be a PCL capable printer. I might also add that it has to be a PCL-5 emulation, NOT PCL-6. piperent

I think just plain old 'index' works from left to right. Hope this helps

I can only speak for the systems I have worked with. see the 'df' command. df -i should report both used and free inodes. Hope this helps piperent

When installing SCO version 6.0 on a Dell Vostro 260 machine with 4 GB RAM, the screen image is presented in a compressed format (it is confined to the top 1/3 of the monitor), and while it is legible, it is obviously corrupt and not useable. I'm thinking it's a driver issue with the video...

You wouldn't happen to have a Windows PC around; would you? Use the Windows PC as an ftp client, connect to the 5.0.7 machine with ftp, receive the file onto the PC, then connect to the 5.0.6 machine and send it. You might even go so far as using FileZilla on the PC to do the ftp stuff for...

Saw that baby off, and I guarantee you'll destroy the keyboard completely. You wouldn't try sawing off the right half of your TV screen to make it fit a cabinet, would you? Same principle applies. piperent

Just a simple note here. I have experienced the same issue with connections from Windows 7 machines. What I found was that the power options in Windows will force those connections to be dropped if the machine is left idle for a period of time. Once we stopped the hibernation and power...

I checked the doc's on this printer, and it is capable of PCL 6. PCL 6 is different than 5, but most of the time a PCL 6 capable machine has backward compatibility. Hopefully this one does too. Just print the configuration and see if you can find the port they use for TCP/IP. I had a toshiba...

The old HPNP stuff, while it used to work flawlessly, is now turning into a real nightmare to get to work. First problem you have is the fact that your using an HP driver to run a Minolta printer. The mere fact that HP uses port 9100 might have a lot to do with your problem. The next issue...

Or, rather than WebeX, just put winVNC on one of their PC's, (it's free), port forward their router (I assume they have one) using some unique port number (the default is 5900), and use it (PC) as the connection point. From their, you can telnet to the SCO box to get to the command prompt. If...

Well, this is my final post on this topic. I finally gave in. No matter what I tried, the spooler seemed to get in the way (I even tried using a separator page which fails miserably). The solution I have resorted to (and this certainly is not how I would prefer to do it) was to use pass-thru...

Thanks for all the input. Sorry it's been so long since I started this post, but I've been trying to resolve this issue at the customer site and haven't had opportunity to check back. The problem is not with what is being sent by Unix, but instead, with what the Windows driver does with it...

I have several reports which are created under Unix (simple character mode print) that are passed using the Unix 'lpd' spooler to a remote Windows XP network PC for printing. I also have a Windows LPD spool utility which runs on the XP. The reports use the full 132 column format, the printer is...

So, what ever happened here? Did we ever get the print jobs to print? Is there some special little trick that we are all oblivious to that makes all these problems go away? Was it a hardware issue with the new server? Or, is it still an issue pending a resolution? Thanks, JP

Thanks to Max1x ...... this suggestion does work. I had to add an obligatory 'my' to the $data filehandle, but once done it worked as expected. Still not real clear on all the idiosyncracies, but now I have something to work from. I can figure out the why's and where-fores from there...

Thanks for the response Kevin. I re-read the 'system' command manual, and what you say is correct, but, I have also tried other methodology to no avail. I tried the 'string' thing (as well as the exec) and they didn't solve my problem. When I use backticks and/or qx// all I get are errors and...

I'm new to Perl and have a simple server running under SCO 5.0.5. All this server does is wait for a client to connect and then sends a short text message back to the client. As long as I only send a brief 'hard-coded' message back to the client, everything works as expected. My question...

It really doesn't matter whether it's a keyboard wedge or USB scanner (or a wedge scanner running thru a USB converter). The hardware should recognize it as an input device and then treat it just like a keyboard input. I have dozens of Retail customers who use barcode scanners of all different...

What I found is the 'alad' table in sdevice.d was remaining in the active state ('Y' in all the table entries) even though I had already removed the tape drive, the physical controller device itself, and manually changed the cf.d/sdevice to deactivate it. Once I manually changed the 'alad' in...

I have a 5.0.5 site running an Adaptec 2940u2w controller ('blad' driver). The site rep attempted to install a tape drive on that controller, but the controller would not recognize it. So, he plugged in another SCSI controller (Adaptec 2940U, 'alad' driver) and attached the tape to it. Well...
