I've added a pci parallel port card to SCO6 MP2 and the only way it works is when I change the default print system to CUPS. (/etc/default/lpd). My apps don't print correctly using CUPS so I need to use my own drivers.

I've run the DCU and it shows an entry as follows:
Device Name IRQ IOStart IOEnd MemStart MemEnd DMA
= =========== === ======= ===== ======= ======= ===
Y LPT 35 1140 1147 - - -

Then when I add/modify the printer using using GUI, the "Connection" tab selection of /dev/lp0 doesn't work.

I've reviewed/applied the information in SCOs TA #126151 and TA #126137 but they don't seem to solve this problem.
Any ideas?
 
Figured out the solution in case anyone else needs it. I deleted all printers, sysv and cups, and then rebooted. I added a sysv printer and selected /dev/lp0. Then rebooted again. (Nothing tells you to do that) Now applications can print to the printer.
