  At one of the companies I work at, they have several DT100 terminals, which
I believe are probably Liberty OEM terminals, that are connected to locally
attached printers through the terminals printer port.  Ocassionally, when the
terminals are turned on, the login prompt (ther terminals are connected 
to a 6000 system running Xenix) gets sent out the printer port (and prints
on the printer).  Control returns immediately to the terminal keyboard, so
that a user can enter their login and password (this doesn't appear on the
printer, ie. local print is turned off).  Has anyone else ever experienced
problems like this?  If so, what was the problem (and your solution).
   One idea I just had (but since I'm not at the system can't test) is that 
the clear screen sequence at the beginning of a session is causing the
printer to go into local print mode.  However, that wouldn't explain how
the terminal got back to normal mode and allowed a login.  I'm assuming,
but not totally sure, that the problem is with the terminal and not with
Xenix (something in the 'is' field in termcap might be the culprit).
   Again, I would appreciate any help.
