Has anyone out there try to connecting your printer with your
X-terminal's serial port? Just like your PC, you connected the
printer to COM1 or COM2. Right now I connected the printers to
the workstation ttya and ttyb ports. Everytime I print somethings,
I have to walk 100 feet(one way only) to get my print out!
	There is no problem to connect the printer to the X-terminal
serial port. The question is how and what command(s) to redirect the
print job to my X-terminal's serial port? If you know the answers, 
please reply or(and) followup. Please don't tell me the expense way,
buy a print server or printer with an Ethernet interface board.

I can do the opposite way, redirect my PC's print job from COM port
to Ethernet interface card, and print out at workstation tty# port.
