    Brother printer prints blank pages

    tep0583 is correct to say that it must be a PCL capable printer. I might also add that it has to be a PCL-5 emulation, NOT PCL-6. piperent

    substring confusion

    I think just plain old 'index' works from left to right. Hope this helps

    How many inodes?

    I can only speak for the systems I have worked with. see the 'df' command. df -i should report both used and free inodes. Hope this helps piperent

    SCO version 6.0 screen image on installation is compressed

    When installing SCO version 6.0 on a Dell Vostro 260 machine with 4 GB RAM, the screen image is presented in a compressed format (it is confined to the top 1/3 of the monitor), and while it is legible, it is obviously corrupt and not useable. I'm thinking it's a driver issue with the video...

    SCO Unix 5.0.7 to SCO Unix 5.0.6 over the internet

    You wouldn't happen to have a Windows PC around; would you? Use the Windows PC as an ftp client, connect to the 5.0.7 machine with ftp, receive the file onto the PC, then connect to the 5.0.6 machine and send it. You might even go so far as using FileZilla on the PC to do the ftp stuff for...

    How about cutting off the number part of my keyboard

    Saw that baby off, and I guarantee you'll destroy the keyboard completely. You wouldn't try sawing off the right half of your TV screen to make it fit a cabinet, would you? Same principle applies. piperent

    Connection lost to SCO os505

    Just a simple note here. I have experienced the same issue with connections from Windows 7 machines. What I found was that the power options in Windows will force those connections to be dropped if the machine is left idle for a period of time. Once we stopped the hibernation and power...

    Konica Minolta Bizhub 350 SetUp

    I checked the doc's on this printer, and it is capable of PCL 6. PCL 6 is different than 5, but most of the time a PCL 6 capable machine has backward compatibility. Hopefully this one does too. Just print the configuration and see if you can find the port they use for TCP/IP. I had a toshiba...

    Konica Minolta Bizhub 350 SetUp

    The old HPNP stuff, while it used to work flawlessly, is now turning into a real nightmare to get to work. First problem you have is the fact that your using an HP driver to run a Minolta printer. The mere fact that HP uses port 9100 might have a lot to do with your problem. The next issue...

    VNC and SCO open server

    Or, rather than WebeX, just put winVNC on one of their PC's, (it's free), port forward their router (I assume they have one) using some unique port number (the default is 5900), and use it (PC) as the connection point. From their, you can telnet to the SCO box to get to the command prompt. If...

    Cannot print 132 columns using Generic Text printer

    Well, this is my final post on this topic. I finally gave in. No matter what I tried, the spooler seemed to get in the way (I even tried using a separator page which fails miserably). The solution I have resorted to (and this certainly is not how I would prefer to do it) was to use pass-thru...

    Cannot print 132 columns using Generic Text printer

    Thanks for all the input. Sorry it's been so long since I started this post, but I've been trying to resolve this issue at the customer site and haven't had opportunity to check back. The problem is not with what is being sent by Unix, but instead, with what the Windows driver does with it...

    Cannot print 132 columns using Generic Text printer

    I have several reports which are created under Unix (simple character mode print) that are passed using the Unix 'lpd' spooler to a remote Windows XP network PC for printing. I also have a Windows LPD spool utility which runs on the XP. The reports use the full 132 column format, the printer is...

    SCO 5.0.7 - Problems with external print servers and remote printing

    So, what ever happened here? Did we ever get the print jobs to print? Is there some special little trick that we are all oblivious to that makes all these problems go away? Was it a hardware issue with the new server? Or, is it still an issue pending a resolution? Thanks, JP

    perl server output to client

    Thanks to Max1x ...... this suggestion does work. I had to add an obligatory 'my' to the $data filehandle, but once done it worked as expected. Still not real clear on all the idiosyncracies, but now I have something to work from. I can figure out the why's and where-fores from there...
