Dana, It depends on whether your workstations are networked or not and on how many serial printers you have .. If the workstations are networked AND the printers are paralell, I'd reccomend JetDirect boxes - you can set them up as printers available to the local machine, and then as queues on your UNIX machine .. If the printers are serial, you can do something similar with SAMBA .. If the workstations are attached through a serial connection, I'd use AUX printing like Dianne and Timothy suggested .. -Chuck

Most of our users connect to our Unidata system via terminal emulation software (SmartTerm) from Windows-based PCs. Some of those users function as point-of-sale terminals. We're now trying to integrate credit card validation via the internet directly from those work stations. We're still in test mode, but most of this seems to working OK. One remaining issue is printing the CC receipt. We would like the receipts to print on CC receipt printers attached to the workstation as either parallel or serial printers. We'd rather not set up print queues for all of these. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
