Hi all,

I want to print to a printer connected to the serial port. So this is how I set up the /etc/printcap file:

imp1:\
  :lp=/dev/ser1:sd=/usr/spool/output/imp1:

But when I print with:

lpr -Pimp1 filetoprint

File gets spooled, but the settings of the serial port change! -Like parity checking gets set to "odd", and baud rate to
 "13" (!). Even if I change the printcap file to look like this:

imp1:\
  :lp=/dev/ser1:br#9600:sd=/usr/spool/output/imp1:

Lpd keeps leaving /dev/ser1 in bad state. The spooled fiel print when I change the settings of the serial port correctly
 with:

stty baud=9600 par=none < /dev/ser1

Any clues on why is this happening? How to fix it?

Thank you!

Jose
