Very Computer

Hello.

I have been able to make transparent printing work thru xterm/telnet as
follows:

The client machine is RH6.0 with X windows. A dot matrix printer is attached
to this machine and defined in lpd. I login to another machine (SCO Unix) on
the local ethernet using the command: xterm -xrm '*printerAutoClose:true' -e
telnet scoboxname Now whenever the sco application running in telnet sends
media copy (mc) esc seq, it prints fine.

Here is the question: How do we make the transparent printing work on linux
machine where X is not installed? Any ideas?

It seems printing is working due to xterm and not telnet. Is there a telnet
work-alike with this feature?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

On the SCO box create a remote printer and point it to the RH's local
printer, then for telnet users export the following variable via .profile or
manually: LPDEST=remoteprintername

Good luck!

'*printerAutoClose:true' -e

I am not familiar with the technique you are using, but I have used 'rlpr'
to print on my Linux box from a telnet session to Solaris which uses a
totally different printing system than Linux does.  Although, I did have
to run rplr's proxy in Linux, because I did not know how to set up lpr to
accept remote printing.  For the Solaris end, I simply compiled rlpr on
Solaris and set up .rlprrc with my Linux hostname and printer (I have
static IP).

Yes, C-Kermit 7.0, currently in Beta test:

By default, this feature is disabled, but you can enable it and configure
it as described in Section 3.3 of the release notes file:
