Set up for SCO UNIX
Some UNIX systems, such as SCO, do not support the Berkeley lpr
print function, The following script allows you to print from
within some applications using ftp, which is supported on most
TCP/IP systems. The script has been tested for SCO UNIX, but
may require modification for other systems.
In SCO UNIX the original printer model scripts are located in
directory usr/spool/lp/model.
The process of creating a printer using the SCO administration
program (SYSADMSH) copies these files to:
/usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces.
You can place the script directly into your interface directory.
The following script should have the same name as the host name
you gave the printer.
TEMPFILE=/tmp/ftpprint.$$
printer=‘laserprt$(O)’
/usr/spool/lp/model/standard”$B”$TEMPFILE
