Has anyone set up a serial printer to FreeBSD? I'm experimenting
but still have no success. I want to connect a
Dec LN03R Scriptprinter to /dev/ttyd2 and this is what I have
so far:
# @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
lp0|lp|local laser printer:\
:lp=/dev/ttyd2:\
:fs#0x600:br#38400:\
:mx#0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
I thought I'd set the ixon/ixoff flags. Don't know if this
is correct though.
It looks like the queue hangs and is waiting for the line being
opened. lpq doesn't show the printer status, only
escunix# lpq
<<<----- here normally appears the status.

Any ideas?
