Currently I am experiencing a LAT printing problem Here's the situation:

The problem:
        Print (using cat /etc/motd > /dev/tty13) to device configured as in setup
below; output appears correctly.
        For some reason, when attempting to print any time afterwards, error
message occurs: /dev/tty13: Can't assign requested address
        Only way to correct is to use command :
                /etc/lcp -h /dev/tty13:MDF900:PORT_30
        Then we can print once and error returns!

The environment:
        DECstation 5000/240, running Ultrix 4.3
        Several printers experiencing problems LA424,LA600,LG02

The setup:
        Entry in ttys file:
        tty13 "/etc/getty std.9600" vt100 off nomodem

        Entry in rc.local:
        /etc/lcp -h /dev/tty13:MDF900:PORT_30 >/dev/console #Printer 5

        Permissions/Owner on /dev/tty13:
        crwxrwxrwx 1 root 39, 11 Apr 4 10:12 /dev/tty13

        file on /dev/tty13:
        /dev/tty13: character special (39/11)

        TermServer:
        Setup is correct and validated by using TEST PORT 30 command, as well as
first print job appearing properly.

Can you please Help!
