Has your kernel been build with lat support? Your config file should have the
following lines in it:

OPTIONS		LAT
psuedo-device	lat
psuedo-device	lta

To get MAKEDEV to make the lat ttys, do a 'MAKEDEV lta0'.  lpd will set the
DECserver's name and port from the ts and op entries in the printcap file.
You don't have to do anything to the tty expect lcp -h /dev/ttyXX.
