On the 4016DX (250-5001), 4020LX (250-5120), 4025LX (250-5125), 4033LX
(250-5130), and 5000MC (250-6000), the printer ports are defined differently
with SCO Xenix release 2.2.4 (250-5200) or 2.3.2 GT (250-5203). The chart

CMOS setup for the on board printer port.

    +--------------------------------------------------------+
    |CMOS Printer Option       |          Xenix Printer Port |
    |--------------------------+-----------------------------|
    |     Printer-1            |                lp1          |

All other computers that do not control the on board printer port by the CMOS
setup, will be as follows:
