hi

i have a serial postscript printer connected to serial port a
of my sparc clone.  I just need to know what all the serial
port settings need to be in order to print to it.  in admintool,
there are such settings as terminal type, login prompt, service,
and streams modules, as well as others which are either enabled
or disabled.  could some kind soul either tell me what they need
to be, or point me to a howto or faq?  i can't seem to find any
documents that address the process of serial printing in solaris.
thanks.

You can change settings with
lpdamin -p printername -o "stty=any_stty_parameter".

You should use a 9600 baud setting. There are problems with switching
to 19200.

I was told some  the following time ago (but I didn't test it):

There is a fundamental problem using rates different from 9600 with
"robust xon/xoff" handshake. You must set the default rate of the
serial port equal to the new rate on the system level (!), not only
with lpadmin. Thus do the following:
Edit /kernel/drv/options.conf: replace the 3rd parameter 'bd' in the
ttymodes string by 'be'.
Replace each occurrence of '9600' in /etc/lp/interfaces/<printername>
with 19200.
Reboot.
