I am having trouble with the printer spooler using Xenix 2.3.3.
When I send a request to the printer, everything works fine and
the file is printed correctly.  If I queue up more than one file,
all files are sent to the printer at once, and the printer pukes.

I am using a serial printer with a call to stty in the interface
script as follows:

	stty ocrnl ixon ixoff clocal 0<&1

Communication seems to be ok for one file at a time, but sending
more than one flushes all requests in the queue to the printer.
I have tried several different serial printers, and it seems to
do the same on all.

Am I doing something wrong???
