BTW, this is a debian machine, and a epson lq2180 that is attached to the server via a serial hub (referred to as a Digiboard by some)... the port settings are as follows:

# stty -a < /dev/ttyD015
speed 19200 baud; rows 0; columns 0; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
eol2 = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W;
lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;

I verified that the printer is set to XON XOFF, 19200 baud.
