We have a SPARCPrinter and on the card that drives it is a paralel port
as well.  I hooked it up to a HP LaserJet and ran bpptest.  Everything 
worked fine.  But then I put /dev/bpp0 as the device in my printcap and 
all I get are a few randow letters scattered on the paper.

Has anyone set this port up to be used with an LaserJet??  Should make
for a lot faster printing of HP graphics than the serial port even at
19.2K.

Any suggestions??
