Local printing through terminal printer port

[Nirad Sharma]

  I am using SCO XENIX 2.3.2 (PS/2 version). Upon reading through the man
entry for lp, I found a '-T' option which allows the user to print files
through the printer port attached to their terminal. (In our case, the
terminals are PS/2s running terminal emulation software, "DEJA-VU", which
claims to have local printer support.) After typing . . .

	echo test |lpr -T

I get . . .

	No such printer "".
(from the XENIX box - nothing whatsoever from the printer)


This occurs on all other lp -T type requests I made. I tried "mkdev lp" with
no avail. What am I doing wrong and how do I get local printing working ?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
