Serial Printer in OpenSuse 11.4
 

I have an old Seiko label printer which I am trying to get working under wine.

To get this working I need to disable the FIFO on the serial port otherwise it only prints half a label.

In windows I have to go into the advanced serial port settings and disable FIFO and it then works.

How do I do this with 11.4 ?

I have found some info that suggests using setserial to change the uart to 8250 and then put this in rc.local.

Questions

setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart 8520 // is this syntax correct

if this works where should i put it to make it stick since I don't have a rc.local


I have tried this on my machine at home and get

dwright@linux-xxm9:~> su
Password:
linux-xxm9:/home/dwright # setserial -a /dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB0, Line 0, UART: 16654, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 0
Baud_base: 460800, close_delay: 0, divisor: 0
closing_wait: infinte
Flags: spd_normal

linux-xxm9:/home/dwright # setserial /dev/ttyUSB0 uart 8250
Cannot set serial info: Invalid argument
linux-xxm9:/home/dwright # setserial /dev/ttyUSB0 uart none
Cannot set serial info: Invalid argument
linux-xxm9:/home/dwright #

could this be due to it being a USB device?

The actual machine that I want it to work on is a desktop with a built in serial port which is currently working ok with gtkterm.

Best Regards
