This is totally different to the options that may be set by the Linux kernel. You can query (and set) these with the stty program: $ stty -F /dev/ttyS0 -a speed 9600 baud; rows 0; columns 0; line = 0; intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0; -parenb -parodd cs8 hupcl -cstopb cread clocal -crtscts -ignbrk -brkint -ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl ixon -ixoff -iuclc -ixany -imaxbel opost -olcuc -ocrnl onlcr -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel nl0 cr0 tab0 bs0 vt0 ff0 isig icanon iexten echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -xcase -tostop -echoprt echoctl echoke If your printer uses 9k6 8N1, you can try this (disables handshake): $ stty -F /dev/ttyS1 raw speed 9600 -crtscts cs8 -parenb -cstopb However, I admit that stty isn't easy to use if you don't know a lot about how serial transmissions work... > ---------------------------------- > The tty-section of my "/etc/inittab" looks like this: > > #1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 > #2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 > #3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3 > #4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4 > #5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5 > #6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6 Irrelevant, as long as there's not a console configured to the same port (and for sure, you won't directly connect your console to a printer, do you?) > myUltra1: # cat ~/.bashrc > /dev/ttyS1 First of all, you need to correctly configure the serial port with stty. For the next step, are you sure your printer accepts plain text for printing? (Actually, you never ever told us about your exact printer model.)
