I have code which changes the serial port's baud rate.  I send it to the
printer via the said serial port and it works quite nicely.  It confuses
my spooler software since there is some amount of page count discussion
after every job and it occurs at the wrong speed, but that's nothing
that a spooler restart won't fix.
