I have a LaserJet 4 attatched to one of the serial ports.
I have an entry in printcap setting the baudrate and some flags but 
it seems to ignore them. To make it work I have to send the file using
the lpr command and after I have to issue an "stty -f /dev/ttyd0 38400 ixon clocal".

Is this a bug ?
