I just loaded openserver 5.0.7
and immediately add service pack 4.

However, under 'scoadmin printer'
I can't make a remote printer.

/etc/default/lpd has PRINT_SYSTEM=SYSV
as default print system.

I don't want CUPS anything for this machine.
What am I doing wrong?

You have to set-up the SYSV remote printing system

mkdev rlp

Per the MP4 release notes, rlp-style printing can't be enabled once CUPS is
installed. So, remove CUPS, then do 'mkdev rlp'.

FWIW, I went that route, and removing CUPS broke ghostscript, which now
fails with:
dynamic linker : gs : could not open libcupsimage.so.2

Amazing...

I have afpl-ghostscript 8.51 at http://www.aljex.com/bkw/sco/#gs
It should run fine, it just needs pretty much any version of gwxlibs and
oss646 (or the equivalent which is 5.0.7 or later)

Thanks,
It works now.
