Dear fellow managers,

does anybody knows, what has to be done to connect a lineprinter
directly to the serial port of an DEC 3000 500.
Up to now the printer was connected via a terminalserver and
lat-protocol.

The old printcap entry for the lineprinter is:

  lp|lp0|0|lp|lineprinter:\
        :af=/usr/adm/lpacct:\
        :br#9600:\
        :ct=LAT:\
        :fc#0177777:\
        :fs#03:\
        :if=/usr/lbin/lg02of:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\
        :lp=/dev/lat/621:\
        :mx#0:\
        :of=/usr/lbin/lg02of:\
        :pl#64:\
        :pw#132:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd:\
        :sf:\
        :xc#0177777:\
        :xf=/usr/lbin/xf:\
        :xs#044000:
 
Does anybody knows all the things I have to do ( ok, changing printcap
entry, but is this all ??? ), to make it work.

All suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.
