sending text through lp on SCO

[bartmc]

I have a zebra 802.11b printer, im generating my own ZPL and CPLC code to send to it. I can create a socket connection to the printer and send the ZPL to it and it prints fine. My problem is is that no matter how i set it up using scoadmin, it wont print. I just want lp to handle the spooling and pass the text straight to iport is their a way to do this?
I cant use the standard printer manager, im having to use the
HP stuff, i dont know why, but that is all that work (It error s out when using the other). I'm not good with printing system and especially SCO.

When you create the printer in scoadmin did you enable and accept it?
Also requires the parallel port to be built into the kernel.

Give the wrong symptoms, get the wrong solutions.

I have not used a zebranet print server in quite a while but I do remember having to use a specific remote queue name for the printer. I would go in and manually change the rp= flag in /etc/printcap to "text" or "pcl" based on what you are sending to it, I would guess "text" in your case. You may be able to telnet into the print server to check the queue names that are available.
