We run several of our LaserWriters at 19,200 baud; if you've succeeded with changing the printer itself to a higher baud rate, all you need to do is set the "br" parameter in your printcap to indicate the different speed (e.g., "...:br#19200:..."). You do NOT need to do anything with /etc/ttys or /etc/gettytab, except to make sure that that port is DISABLED (i.e., no getty running on it); they are ignored by the printing subsystem. Sun-3s support speeds up to 38,400 baud; even if Sun won't say so, they wrote the software (stty, lpd, getty, etc.) to allow it.
