Probably the null modem cable. Try a straight through cable or test by temporarily using the port 6 cable to the modem.

For passthrough printing you need control codes before and after the file dump. Specialx takes care of this for you so that would be the better solution.

Also check to make sure that port 7 is enabled for getty. See /etc/inittab
