I was never able to get XON/XOFF to work proberly with my NEC LC 890
PostScript printer. I'm running Sun version 3.5. It seems like the sun
never sees the ^S from the printer. My final solution was to set the
printer at 1200 baud .... ie spoon feed it.
My printcap currently looks like:
ps|cat|troff|lw:\
:lp=/dev/ttyb:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:rw:\
:fs#06021:xs#40000:\
:tf=/usr/local/bin/pscat:\
:br#1200:mx=0:sh:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:\
:pw#80:
If I even think about increasing the baud rate to 9600...the printer
looses output. If anyone out there knows a solution to this I would
appreciate it.
