Post by: crotrei on February 17, 2006, 07:54:13 am

Hi,

I have a customer who has a usb printer and wants to use it with ice.tcp.pro and is has SCO unix. Now I know that it supports USB in Windows, but what about unix. Is there any special way to set it up?

According to Dells website it's a PCL printer so it should just work with ICELP. In Unix the application will have to have some sort of support for laserprinters. I'm pretty sure PCL6 is backwards compat with older PCL2 printers so you should have a good chance of getting it to work.
