I have a SCO Openserver 5.02 Enterprise Server. I have installed a Network Card and added 10 Windows 95 PC to the Network. All is well however the printing is not set up. I cannot get Sco to spool jobs to Printers connected to the parralel port on the PC's. The TCP/IP Range for the Network is 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.30.

Any suggestions on how to setup Network Printing in SCO from start to finish using TCP/IP protocol to communicate.

Many thanks [sig][/sig]
 
The Windows machines with the printers attached need to be running a local lpd daemon. There are many of these available for Windows - some free, some shareware, some full commercial packages.

Once you have a lpd service running on a Windows box, you can set the printers up as if they were network printers. Obviously, Windows needs to be running with the lpd server in order for SCO to print to the locally attached printers.
