Distributed printing
Local printing generally refers to sending print jobs via
lp(C)
to a printer attached to your computer via a serial or
parallel port. Distributed printing enables you to use
the network to send print jobs to printers attached to
networked hosts and to send jobs from remote hosts to
a local printer.
To print remotely from your SCO OpenServer Desktop or Enterprise
systems, you can:
-
Send a print job to a printer attached to
another SCO OpenServer or compatible UNIX system by using
RLP,
the remote line printing component of TCP/IP.
To print remotely to your SCO OpenServer Desktop or Enterprise
systems, you can:
-
Send a print job from a DOS computer
to an SCO OpenServer Desktop or Enterprise system running
pcnfsd(NADM),
a component of NFS .
NOTE:
SCO OpenServer offers Samba File and Print Server for SCO OpenServer, a product
that provides distributed filesystem and printing services.
Configuring remote printing
To configure remote printing, you must complete the following
procedures:
-
Establish physical connections.
-
Configure networking drivers.
-
Configure the appropriate protocol stack.
-

Additional configuration is required for each remote printing
