- Well this is excellent in theory. I wish I could get it to work. On my
- DECstation, I have a QMS PS printer plugged into tty01. When I set
- ct=dev lp=/dev/tty01 in the printcap file, the new ln03rcomm hangs:
- debug level 1 shows it starting, and it doesn't exit until the job is
- lprm'd.
-
- If I set lp to output to a file, it writes quite happily, and
- I can then cat that into tty01. Which is a work-around to an
- extent.
-
- I've tried all the obvious xs/xc/fs/fc switches.
- Any idea what the problem might be?
