I'm looking for help in connecting an HP LaserJet+ to a Tower 32/600.  When
adding the printer in va, it chooses the rawR gettydef for the printer, but the
HP is expecting 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, with XON flow control.  I've
tried working up my own gettydefs, but none have seemed to work: the best one
only printed the form feeds that were sent and ignored characters.  We know
that the cable is okay and a terminal plugged in instead of the printer works
fine with the same communications parameters.  The printer also works fine if
you type at it from a terminal.  If anyone has one of these printers working
from a Tower, I'd appreciate hearing how you have it configured.
