We have a HP Painjet XL which and gave it connected to the serial port of
an IPC running SunOS 4.1.3 (and previously, 4.1.1).  The following are a
couple of entries from out printcaps:

#
# HP-Paintjet XL colour plotter connected to ttya
#
pjetxl|pjet|pj|HP Paintjet-XL:\
      :lp=/dev/ttya:\
      :sd=/usr/spool/pjet:\
      :lf=/usr/adm/lpd-pjet.log:\
      :af=/usr/adm/lpd-pjet.act:\
      :br#19200:\
      :mx=#0:\
      :fc#0177777:fs#003:\
      :sh:sb:rw:\
      :ms=ixon,evenp,-echo:

#
# apple laserwritter connected to ttyb
#
alw|ps|apple|ALW|PS|APPLE|Apple Laserwriter NT:\
      :lp=/dev/ttyb:\
      :sd=/usr/spool/alw:\
      :lf=/usr/adm/lpd-alw.log:\
      :af=/usr/adm/lpd-alw.act:\
      :br#9600:\
      :mx=#0:\
      :ms=ixon,-echo:\
      :sh:sf:sb:rw: \
      :if=/usr/local/lib/psif:\
      :fc#0177777:fs#003:

The dip-switches on the plotter are set up to use 19200 baud, even parity
and Xon/Xoff handshaking, the laser are set to 9600 baud and Xon/Xoff.  Note
that for the postscript entry, the rw flag is used so that error messages
can be sent back.  The file /usr/local/lib/psif is just a filter for converting
non-ps files into ps.

Hope these might give you a few more ideas ......
