    We are looking to install some wireless, portable printers.
    Specifically, these are the O'Neil 4t thermal printers. When I try to
    set them up using the generic remote lpd, whatever I put in the remote
    printer name (rp) is what is printed on the printer and it doesn't print
    a test page. There doesn't appear to be a remote printer name available
    for this printer. If I run the following script:
     
    exec 3<> /dev/tcp/10.110.50.40/515
    print 'test' >&3
     
    it will print "test" or anything else between the quotes just fine. Can
    someone provide some guidance on how I can apply the aforementioned
    information (or another idea) to set this printer up in the printer
    configuration on the Tru64 server?
