hi all,

i've recently intalled NetBSD on a Sparc Classic to use as a
print-server. however, it seems i can't get the serial port to do
56700 which is required by the printer, an HP DeskWriter 550c. i get:

lp: tcsetattr: Invalid argument

if i put 56700 in /etc/printcap. 38400 works, but of course the
printer just prints jibberish. 

the print-server i'm using today is an old Macintosh SE/30 also
running NetBSD 1.4.1 which works like a charm, only it's a bit slow.
if i'm not mistaken both these machines use the same serial chips. so
why can the Mac do 56k but not the Sparc? or am i missing something
here?

cheers
