Most of the print server drivers (the files in /sys/hardcopy/drivers) will
initialize the output stream when they first start up. This initialization
may or may not match your printer's current setup (eg. you wish to use
XON/XOFF handshaking via the tctl -sync option, the server may wish to use
RTS/CTS handshaking via the tcl -cts_enable -rts_enable options). Either
change the settings on your printer (and also get a cable which matches
those settings!) or use /com/tcl *after* the print server has been started
*and* has had time to load and init the driver. This can take 10 to 20
seconds after /sys/hardcopy/prsvr has been started.
