Printing to Epson SP750 through serial port

[Thomas Carlson]

OK, let me ask the question in a different way.  Has anyone 
successfully used the Printer Configuration utility in YDL 3.0 to set 
up ANY printer  connected to the printer port of a PCI vintage Mac?  
How does one have to set up the /dev/ttyS1 port so that the utility 
will recognize it.  Or, can anyone point me to a list that might be 
more knowledgeable in this area?

Thanks, Tom
