I previously reported that I was having trouble with by Canon printer using
the newest code. It requires hand intervention with stty to get it working.
Once in operation, all goes well with subsequent jobs (I am spooling with
lpd). This used not to be the case.
Looking at /proc shows that the line discipline flag bits are _not_
being set when lpd starts. This could be similar to the crmod problem
some have reported with phones. By going to the unix-lpr lpd which forks
stty to set line characteristics I have things working again, but I put
this in the "workaround" basket.
A further comment about the printer. Printing complex pages (fancy fonts
and ghostscript) is _much_ slower using the IR port on the BJC-80 than
using a parallel port and a cable. Is this a hardware limitation or does
it mean there is room for better IR code? I only use linux on my
laptop so I cannot make the IR/cable comparison in other environments.
