    hi,

    maybe things are different with the serial device when opened by the lpd
    instead of cat (Baud Rate, modem control, flow-control). Try "man
    printcap" and look for the settings commented like "if lp is a tty ..."

    Otherwise, if your TS16 supports local lpd services (like Decserver 700
    or 900 devices) why not use them ?
