This script intercepts the print command and runs another printer interface script, in this case the printer “standard” using the same options ($@), redirecting the output to a temporary file. The script then opens an ftp session with the printer, sets binary mode and sends the temporary file to the printer. The temporary file is then removed.
Note:
The name of the model and interface directories used by your UNIX system may differ from SCO.
