How do I setup HP print services on a non HP print server on SCO Unix Servers?

Problem: How do I setup HP print services on a non HP print server on SCO Unix Servers?

Cause: I would like to setup a non HP print server that is compatible to the HP print server on my SCO OpenServer or Unixware server using the port 9100.
A typical example is the Kyocera copier/scanner/fax

Solution:

In OpenServer move the /etc/getone to another named file.
In Unixware move the /usr/sbin to another named file.

Create a new getone script using an editor with the follwing contents:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Name: HP.2.3.9.1.1.2.1.0
Value: 0
"

This workaround will change the HP Network Printer Script's reliance on SNMP.
