And I cannot see any reason why they would make 4.2 incompatible with 4.1. 1. Set the line discipline to new terminal driver. 2. Set LLITOUT bit in the local mode word for the terminal line. This suppresses the output translations and thus allows you to use 8-bit data from the computer. 3. Use cooked mode. This allows flow control from the terminal which in your case will be the laser printer. -- Hsu
