Folks-
I've got an old imagewriter 1 (From apple) dot matrix printer
that I would like to attach to my freebsd box. I've got a serial connection
going to it, but if I try to echo to the dev (/dev/ttyd1) It either hangs
the shell, or the printer would print a space, go backwards a space, and
repeat until I reboot the unix box. (Turning off the printer, killing the
echo statement doesn't work) Anyone do such a task?
