- I had problems with LAT printing as well. Assigning the port to the server at
- LAT startup time fixed the problem. In your case, the rc.local should contain
-
- /usr/etc/lcp -s -h /dev/tty17:ELG_EQUINOX:PORT_40
-
- and remove the op,os,ts,ct entries from printcap.
- Hope this works! (it did for me.... :-)
