/dev/lp1 problems

[Robert A. Earl]

I have a Parallel<->Serial Converter II from Black Box Corp.
I have a standard clone-type herc-compat monitor card with LPT1.

When hooked to a standard parallel printer, it behaves beautifully.
When hooked to the converter, it ignores the converter's attempts at
flow control (hardware) and sends the whole job, thereby losing 2/3 of
most jobs.

Any recommendations?
