Printing FAQ

Print jobs fail, and I get mail complaining "tcgetattr failed: No such device" or "inappropriate I/O control operation"

This is caused by an "stty" line in the interface script for a printer that is not connected to a serial or parallel port. Remove the line or use a different interface script.
