Hi,
I have a problem with a serial Printer that is connected to a FreeBSD 2.2.6 Machine that acts as Print-Server for our Workgroup. I already read thru Handbook, FAQ and also searched the Mailing-List-Archive, but didn't find what I was looking for :-(
The Printer is a OkiLaser 800 (yepp, somewhat old). When connected via the parallel-port it works fine. However, when we connect the printer thru the serial port we usually get a "Error Receicve / Buffer Overflow" from the printer, about when it starts printing the first page, when printing longer Documents.
The printer is set to Serial I/F and XON-Handshake - can't use Hardware-Handshake as it's connected thru our in-house cabling system that only offers 4 wires :-( It's only configured fo no parity...
So, I tried out TANDEM and many other things I found in /usr/include/sys/ioctl_compat.h; none helped. I also tried out "combinations" I found in Mails in the Mail-Archive - none brought the breakthrough...
So, could anybody please help me with this problem?? Must be solveable, I think :-))
Here's the /etc/printcap-Entry as it's currently looking ;-)
