I have discovered (and told) that the line printer driver in Minix is for
the parallel port on the PC's.  Unfortunately all of our printers are
serial devices.  Has anyone written a simple serial device driver
(something akin to kernel/printer.c but for serial ports) so that it would
be possible to get our printers going?

Thanks!
