For my PostScript printer, using lprps on a serial line:

# The name of the printer is `ps' or `PS' or `eeep'.  Also, at least
# one of your printers should be named `lp' as the default printer.

# It's connected to the sixth serial port.
	:lp=/dev/ttyd5:\
# These flags make it work (TANDEM, FLUSHO, LITOUT)

# Communicating at 38400bps.

	:sh:\

# that detects whether the file is plain text or PostScript.  For
# plain text, it runs a text-to-PS filter; for PostScript, it goes

If you're ever stuck in some thick undergrowth, in your underwear,
don't stop and think of what other words have 'under' in them, because
that's probably the first sign of jungle madness.  -- Jack Handey
