This would be better asked on one of the comp.unix.sco.* newsgroups but here
is the answer anyway :)
If you are using the scoadmin GUI, realize that it can only scan for other
SCO boxes with printers (and I believe that it even says that some where on
the menu or documentation). I have successfully configured a SCO v5.0.5 to
print to a RH v6.2 box but you will have to (if I remember correctly) just
fill in the settings in scoadmin-printers and not run the scan; scoadmin
will just assume the settings are correct and try and use them. I believe
that one the Linux box will have to add an entry for the SCO box in
/etc/lphosts (or something like that).

I am hoping that you can assist me with this.
I am attempting to connect a SCO unix remote printer que to a local
printer on a mandrake box. I have configured and successfully tested
the printer under CUPS, but when I attempt to locate the remote printer
on the SCO box, it is unable to locate it. This printer is visible and
usable from other Mandrake machines on the network. There is no mention
in any of the logs on the Mandrake machine of the attempts from the Unix
machine attempting to gain access to the printer. I have added the IP
and computer name to the /etc/hosts file, and allowed guest and public
access to the printer
I am running Mandrake 7.2, with an IBM postscript printer (This
printer does work under the Unix, as I am replacing all our windoze and
dos machines with Linux). SCO Openserver ver 5.0 with updates for the
printing and security functions
