I just hooked up an epson stylus Color 980 to a win machine set up on my Sco Advanced file snd print server network. i defined it on the SCo box and it prints fine. However, after each print job from the SCo machine I get this message:

Subject: Status of lp request Epson980-2968

Your request Epson980-2968 destined for Epson980
encountered an error while printing on printer Epson980.

Reason for failure:

stty: tcgetattr failed: Inappropriate I/O control operation (error 25)

I've looked at the printer script and don't see anything obvious. Anyone have any ideas of how to fix this?

SCO release 3.2v5.0.2 (I know, its old, but upgrading is such a pain....)

 
Look at your printer setting and see what they are set at. I have come across problems similiar to this and it is the printer setup that is wrong (I.E. XON/XOFF is not set)
