Hi there

I want to connect a LQ850 to com2. In fact I have done so, the only problem
is that i don't know how to tell lpd/lpr (?, or whatever) to use
cs8, - istrip and -parenb. I can cat to /dev/com2 after having done the
stty (stty -f /dev/com2 cs8 -strip -parenb) and everything is ok.
But when i use lpr, the output is corrupted. 
Is there an easy way to solve this? 
Or should I use the lpt-patches?
