Hi Netters,

I've upgraded from NetBSD 0.8 to 0.9, and my printcap now seems
to be broken.  This is what I have:

lp|local printer:lp=/dev/com1:br#9600:rm=stimpy:rp=lp:sd=/var/spool/lp:\

This works fine on a Sun 386i.  I don't know what I put in the
old 0.8 printcap (something pretty similar) but it did work too.

Also, I can cat straight to com1 and it works ok...  lpd prints out a
bunch of junk.  The printer is set to 7 bits, even parity, 9600 baud.

Could someone more versed in sgtty's please help me out?

Thanks!

Doug K.
