I'm trying to hang a HP LaserJet 4 printer off the LPT1 port
of my CPU/Authentication server (133MHz Pentium) but can't
seem to make it work.  When trying to 'lp' from a terminal,
I get a timeout.  I found the following comments in /sys/lib/lp/bin/lpsend.rc
to be disturbing...

># tcp file transfer is broken on plan 9. philw thinks its a flow control problem
># try not to use tcpgate for a while. 9201021250
># tcp file transfer still broken. 9201171404

I've grepped the CHANGES.TXT file on plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/update
and don't see any obvious fixes to this problem.

Has the problem been fixed by anyone?

Thanks,
