We have an Okidate 393 running at 9600 baud through an Anvil multiport
serial card. Works fine, but crashes during the printing of big jobs.
We have tried a bunch of things, talked to SCO, etc. We are hopefully
missing something very basic, that we overlooked. Any ideas people ?

You need a handshaking, either hardware or software. Software handshaking is the simpler, as far as your printer is able to handle it. For using it, include the following stty settings in your printer interface file (located in /usr/spool/lp/interface/<yourprintername>): -clocal ixon ixany For hardware handshaking, your wiring needs to be adapted. Refer to your printer manual and the manual pages in serial(HW). Then include the following stty settings in your printer interface file: clocal rtsflow ctsflow Hope that helps Rgds Ralf. -- | Programmentwicklung fuer Microcomputer | Ralf U.
