If you got it to print directly from the serial port, it should be
possible to make it work under "lpr". I would what the settings are
while it's printing a large file: "stty -g -f /dev/tty01", and note
the values of "cflag", "iflag", "lflag" and "oflag". Then do the the
same while it's (failing to) print with "lpr", and see what's different.
