Summary - HPIII on an IPC
                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The concensus was :
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The HPIII set as follows
       auto cont=on, I/O=serial, serial=RS232, baud=9600, robust=on
       dtr polarity=Hi, ret=medium, page protect=ltr
The printcap entry as follows
lp|lp1|1|hp1|Laser Jet 3:\
        :pw#80:\
        :lp=/dev/ttyb:\
        :br#9600:\
        :ms=pass8,-crtscts,onlcr,ixon,ixoff,-opost:\
        :of=/usr/local/bin/hplaser:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lp:\
        :mx#0:\
        :lf=/var/adm/lpd-errs:
The cable pinout as follows 
  SUN                  HPIII
 ~~~~~               ~~~~~~~~
 > Tx   2  ----------- 3  Rx
 > Rx   3  ----------- 2  Tx
 > RTS  4              4
 > CTS  5  ----------- 20 DTR
 > DSR  6                 DSR
 > Gnd  7  ----------- 7  Gnd
 > DCD  8
 > DTR 20
The above settings worked *very nicely indeed*.
I also received product literature from MAGMA on SBus products for 
communication applications. (Sorry, this is not a plug, just have to
give everyone who responded credit for their efforts.)
