Need more info

- What is ULT 'os'?

- How is the printer attached? Parallel/Serial/Network?

- If serial, make sure flow control is the same on both the printer and
how SCO is using the port.

Perhaps an Epson DFX 5000? I cannot find any information on a DSX-5000.
Other than missing the first couple of lines, do the jobs print normally?

More info needed:
- SCO version (run uname -X from the command line)
- What interface this printer uses
(/usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces/, post the first 10 - 15
lines
- How the printer is connected to the SCO system (parallel, serial,
network)
