I have just connected an Epson LQ-870 to our NeXTstation using a Mac modem  
cable to serial port A.  The printer is equipped with a serial card set up  
to do software flow control and 9600 bps.  The printer works fine when  
doing a loopback test.  We are using /dev/ttya as the printer port.  When  
we attempt to print a test page from PrintManager, nothing happens.  I  
also cannot get anything to print by cat'ing directly to /dev/ttya.  A  
status report from lpc returns a message that the printer is not  
responding.  I don't know whether it is related but, I should also mention  
that when we try to print to other printers on the network (non netinfo)  
we get a status of "waiting for queue to be enabled on {machine_name}.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I can supply more info if you tell  
me what is needed.

Thanks.
