Having just spent a frustrating time configuring an ancient
serial printer, I propose making the following mods to the
printing section of the handbook.
I considered modifying the tty ioctl code to fix this problem,
but it's not clear doing so wouldn't trash out piles of other
stuff. I'm not an expert on the tty driver and modifying it
to kill the RAW bit automatically might break who knows what.
