I used printtool and set up an Epson Stylus 600 on ttyS1. /var/log/dmesg
had the following line: "tty01 at 0xf3013000 (irq = 16) is a Z8530 ESCC,
port = printer" , hence my mistaken belief that the port was tty01.
lpd no longer crashes, but when trying to print anything, all I get is a
series of dots, which stops mid page and weirds out the printer. Any
suggestions?
Thanks for the help wih this Hollis!
