LaserJet printercap for BSD 4.2?

	Did they really take "litout" out of the 4.2BSD tty driver?

And don't forget that the LLITOUT mode is slightly broken.  If you do
a "stty litout" I think it always works but if you just set the appropiate
bit with an ioctl it doesn't catch.  At least on DH's the software bit
never makes it into the hardware registers.

To make it always work you need to do something that actually mucks with
the hardware DH registers.  (For example I get and set the tty speed to
its original value).  Doing this has the side effect of setting the litout
mode and lets you have 8 bits of output.

If you have questions please mail me a note....It really does work (an eight
bit path and flow control....I have it driving an Epson printer.)

Cheers,
