Brother PCL6 Printers w/ SCO+MedMan

[Patrick E. Bennett, Jr.]

Has anyone had actual experience with the Brother line of laser printers
and AIO's advertised as emulating PCL6 and Postscript working with The
Medical Manager on SCO Unix? Some of the example models are HL-5250DN,
HL-6050DN and MFC-8480DN.

HI Patrick

I have put a number of Brother HL5240 printers in and they work great...

what are you trying to accomplish ?

I do not believe you can do both sides of a page from medman...

Nick

I used the straight Laserjet 4 in medmgr ...I am not sure PCL marks matter

Nick, thanks! On a side note, I *have* gotten the double sided printing
to work from The Medical Manager to HP's with the duplexer unit. I
would think it would work the same with the Brothers. If you're
interested, I can remind myself how to do it and pass along the info.

Setup the printer in SCO with the HPLaserJet (other filters might also
work, there are several for laserjets) print filter. From the command
line and shell scripts, you can print on both sides using the "-od"
option (eg. lp -d mylaser -od /path/to/the/print/file.txt). Setup the
printer in medical manager printer setup utility of "isntall" with this
option appended to the printer name in the right most column (eg.
mylaser -od).
