hi,
I wonder if someone else had similar problems.
My Epson PostScript printer is connected with a full null-modem cable to
a serial port using
a 16550 UART.
All works fine, except when I´m printing more than 2 (approx.) pages the
printer gives an ioerror.

OS is FreeBSD-2.2.2RELEASE, the printer is set to 38400,8,n,1 Xon/Xoff

printcap entry:

laser|Epson EPL-7500:\
	:sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/laser:sc:mx#0:\
	:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
	:lp=/dev/ttyd1:br#38400:fs#0x082000c1:rw:\
	:if=/usr/local/libexec/psif:\
	:if=/usr/local/libexec/psdf:

It seems that somehow the Xoff is lost somewhere. I don´t know if I´ve
set the flags wrong,
or if the 16550 is the problem (printer has no RTS/CTS flow controll).

Thanks, Roland
