The gist of the matter is that the DEClaser 2200 is of type ln06 and not lpf,
as Phil Krause <phil_at_wolf.ncat.edu> and Murat Balci <balci_at_baum01.ege.edu.tr>
kindly pointed out. Also the device file I was using (/dev/tty00) was incorrect,
it should have been /dev/ttyd1. Here's a copy of the working /etc/printcap file:
lp|lp0|0|lp|laser|phil:\
:af=/usr/adm/lpacct:\
:br#9600:\
:ct=dev:\
:fc#0177777:\
:fs#03:\
:if=/usr/lbin/ln06rof:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\
:lp=/dev/ttyd1:\
:mc#20:\
:mx#0:\
:of=/usr/lbin/ln06rof:\
:pl#66:\
:pw#80:\
:rw:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:\
:xc#0177777:\
:xf=/usr/lbin/xf:\
:xs#044000:
Once again, thanks to those who replied.
