I'm really unfamiliar with Sun's "A/B" serial deals.  I would like
to hook up the serial end of a HP DeskJet 550C to my SPARCclassic.  But
I don't have the A/B splitter cable.  Do I need to make one, or is one
set of pins in the correct place already?  Would that be ttya or ttyb
(or am I looking in the wrong place for the device...  =)  I tried a
straight through serial cable and a gender-changer (the SPARC's serial
port is the opposite gender of what I'd expect).

    Once (if) I get this working, what's necessary to get lpd to talk to
the printer at 9600,8,N,1?  I set up what I thought looked okay, but lpd
just collects the printouts in the spool, doesn't log any errors, but
never prints either.  I'm not worrying about filters right now, I just
want to be able to print a file I've made using gs's cdj550 device.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
