sorry to write for the second time the same thread .
my question is the same.
i want to change the protocolfor the serial printers on sco 5.0.5 from xon/xoff to rts/cts,and the inteface in.../var/spool/lp/admins/lp/intrfaces , too.
anybody knows where can i download this interface or how i can "built" it?
thank you
 
Are the serial printers on the standard com ports or on a multiport board?

generally:

stty rtsflow ctsflow -ixon -ixoff

in the interfaces file.

digiboard example:

ditty rtspace ctspace printer /dev/ttya08
 
my printers are on a multiport board
 
What multiport card? Some multiport cards have control programs that allow your changes using their program. Ed Fair
