I am new to this forum and have very little experience with unix sco 5.05. I would like to know if anyone out there has any experience in setting up a copier as a printer to their unix. The printer has an ip address and is using a pcl driver similiar to the HP printers. We are using century tiny terminal for the setting up procedure.
 
If your konica has a pcl driver, you should be able to set the printer up a a standard or generic hp printer. You cant hurt anything by trying it out. You may not be able to use some advanced functions like duplex or stapling.
 
You can do remote printing to the Konica's LRP/LPD server.
The remote printer (rp in /etc/printcap) must be PORT1
They don't support SCO extensions.
Sample entry in /etc/printcap:
konica: :lp=:rm=konica:rp=PORT1:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/konica:mx#0:
