I'm trying to get lpr to talk to an old DecWriter III that we have hooked
to the IBM PC on serial port one (COM1: in MS-DOS).
The DecWriter is set up to run at 1200 baud, 8 bits ,etc.  When I fire
up lpr (or just cat to /dev/lp), I get "Printer out of paper." from the
device driver (../kernel/printer.c).

My guess is that this is becuase the uart in the pc is not set up to 
run at 1200 baud.  How can this be fixed?  Or is this even the problem?

What does MINIX expect to see at the other end of the port?
