I am looking for a printcap for an HP laserjet III for a DECstation
5000 running Ultrix 4.1 and the important printer settings that go
along with it.  I have done lots of experimenting, and it seems that I
can't get the flow control to work.  Anything under 10 pages prints
fine, but after 10 pages it halts and starts over.  Please email me
any information you can.  Here are some specific questions that I
have?

	- What is the best printcap for an HP laserjet III?
	- What are the accompanying printer settings?
	- What is rhobust flow control?
	- What RS232 wires does the HP require/use?

Please send whatever advice you can regardless of whether or not it
fits one of my questions.  I would prefer to understand the problem
rather than just lower the baud rate.
