Printer and BACKSPACE

[Peter J. Holsberg]

I am attempting to print text files prepared with "nroff -man" on an
Okidata 294 printer.  This printer *is* capable of backspacing, but
seems to ignore the ^Hs in the text file.

Is there a way of setting the port to pass ^Hs unmolested?  I have tried
playing with /etc/gettydefs "printer" line, with ICANON and OPOST, but
nothing has worked yet.
