We run several of our LaserWriters at 19,200 baud; if you've succeeded
with changing the printer itself to a higher baud rate, all you need to do
is set the "br" parameter in your printcap to indicate the different speed
(e.g., "...:br#19200:..."). You do NOT need to do anything with /etc/ttys
or /etc/gettytab, except to make sure that that port is DISABLED (i.e., no
getty running on it); they are ignored by the printing subsystem.
Sun-3s support speeds up to 38,400 baud; even if Sun won't say so, they
wrote the software (stty, lpd, getty, etc.) to allow it.
