True.  I suppose you have a reason for not setting the printer to match the
host's parity...

Anyway, the following printcap flags work with our LG02 set on 8 bits, no
parity: 

	:fs#006320:xs#044000:

I don't remember anymore what the flags are, but I seem to recall that it's
the xs entry (local flags) that saves you -- I think one of the bits sets
LITOUT mode.
