This is an answere I got from one of the apollo engineers regarding "stty tandem" which is supposed to enable XOF/XOFF: > Querying within the Response Center, I have been > informed that this switch does not work on Apollo > hardware. An alternative to "stty tandem" that works is "/com/tctl -line 1 -insync". But it is not doing me any good since lpd needs to have specific bits set in the fs/fc/xs/xc fields of printcap. These bits correspond to stty masks. How am I going to tell lpd to execute /com/tctl -line 1 -insyc? So pure BSD printing will not work for laser writers since apollos's stty tandem is broken and the laser writers can't do hardware flow control! RF.

We avoided that problem by buying a Sun IPC workstation and queueing the Apollo LaserWriter print files remotely though the Sun. :-)
