All the printer interface programs in /usr/spool/lp are shell scripts.
It should be fairly easy to patch or move the WP-installed print filters
to interface to whatever configuration SCO has in there. I know the 
printer config was also changed by ISC between 1.x and 2.x, the 
interface programs and such are buried a little further down under
/usr/spool/lp. Once you find them, they look the same as the "standard"
config, and can be easily patched.

Ahhh, the joys of standard configurations.....
