I'm using an Epson LQ800 printer which doesn't want any part of xon-xoff. I've enabled dtr on the printer port (via prndtr and setport), but apparently WP takes control of the port when you print a document, as this set up is ignored. I can print at 300 baud, but what fun is that ? -mgb UUCP : ...uflorida!ki4pv!samsara!mgb BITNET: mgb@stetson
