I'm running Sun version 3.5. It seems like the sun never sees the ^S from the printer. My final solution was to set the printer at 1200 baud .... ie spoon feed it. My printcap currently looks like: ps|cat|troff|lw:\ :lp=/dev/ttyb:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:rw:\ :fs#06021:xs#40000:\ :tf=/usr/local/bin/pscat:\ :br#1200:mx=0:sh:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:\ :pw#80: If I even think about increasing the baud rate to 9600...the printer looses output. If anyone out there knows a solution to this I would appreciate it. Joe
