Printers and the find command

[jamba]

I have a SCO Open Server 5 and right now it is printing through a Novel server. I would like to change it to use a Windows 2000 or NT print server. How do I go about doing this?

Second question is what is the syntax for the find command?

Thanks in advance,

Go to the nt-server and enable the lpd-service (makes the nt server behaves as a unix-print-server). You will find it under network neighbourhood (I think). The name of the service is either "Microsoft TCP/IP printing" or "Simple TCP/IP services". restart the server and share a printer that you wish to use.

After doing that go to the unix-server and run scoadmin, printer manager, add a remote unix printer.

If you see two printers in the printer manager afterwards. don´t be alarmed, it´s a bug which is harmless.

The syntax for the find command is.

find [path] [what you want to find]

for example.

find . -name whatever

which will search in the current directory and downwards for any file/directory with name whatever. /Sören

how about " find startingpoint -name whatever* -print " to define the starting point for the search rather than the period that says start at current place.
ex: find / -name default -print Ed Fair
