No, no. You must not run getty at the right speed: it's a dirty workaround
wich fixed a very old bug that does'nt exist any more. You just need to
edit the apropriate /usr/spool/lp/interface/YourPlotter and set the line
properly via stty. With our LaserJet 2000 connected through serial port
(the lack of HP-IB slots seems to be less rare than we expect) we fixed
the problem by inserting:
	stty raw 9600 -parenb cs8 ixon -ixany -istrip clocal <&1
it seems to work perfectly.
