I am assuming you are running on SCO Xenix. If you are stty will work
even if the printer is on a parallel port. Remember that stty works on
its standard input so the command must be like this:
	stty 9600 -onlcr </dev/lp1	(or whatever port you are using).

If you are using the lp spooler to access this information than all you
have to do is edit the /usr/spool/lp/interface/xxx (were xxx is the name
of the printer) file and change the default stty command there. Note that
in recent releases of SCO Xenix there is a hp interface file, you may still
have to edit it to get it set up the way you like it, but it is a good
start.
