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.
Send a print job to a printer attached to a NetWare
print server by using the
print facilities of SCO Gateway for NetWare.
Send a print job to a printer attached to a LAN Manager
for UNIX print server by using the
print facilities of LAN Manager Client.
To print remotely to your SCO OpenServer Desktop or Enterprise
systems, you can:
Send a print job
from a DOS, Windows, or MacIntosh computer running PC-Interface
client to an SCO OpenServer system configured as a PC-Interface server.
Send a print job from a DOS or OS/2 computer
to an SCO OpenServer Desktop or Enterprise system running
pcnfsd(NADM),
a component of NFS .
Send a print job from a NetWare computer to an SCO OpenServer Desktop
or Enterprise system running IPX/SPX.
