Hello,
We have an LN03R connected to a microvax 2 via dhv11.
When running Ultrix 2.2, the printer was set to
7 data, even parity, and the "fs" entry in printcap
was 06320. This is no longer appropriate, apparently,
since updating to Ultrix 4.2, cuz it don't work no more.
We tried all kinds of things to get it going, but
the only thing that produced ANY output was switching the
printer to 8 data no parity. And while this does produce
some stuff, it seems that the printer buffer overflows
(no xon xoff, eh?) after a couple pages have gone out.
The serial line just has pins 2, 3, and 7. Is there
some common wisdom on this problem? Can anyone provide
the 'proper' combination of fs/xs entries and LN03R
switch setting to make it work right?

thank you very much,
rob
