- try adding a :ms=crtscts to the printcap. I'm not sure what linux
- wants in the printcap but if it understands the ms entry then you should
- find that hardware flow control between your linux box and the
- laserwriter should help considerably.
-
- I imagine that on long files it prints a little and then goes catatonic.
- This would indicate to me that characters were dropped and the PS
- interpreter displayed an error message and then ignored all subsequent
- input until receiving a ^D.
-
- Just a guess.
