Summary: printing problem w/ stclp0 driver
Hi Sun managers,
Thanks to Alan Hill and Wis Macomson comment and suggestion on my question.
I finally figure out the answer myself. Here is my original question:

Nothing wrong with the printcap non the stclp0 driver, stclp is actually the
spc/s driver for Sun's Serial-parallel board.
I only need to set the printer (oh it is a LaserJet 4 plus not laserJet 4m)
to: Font 0 (non-scalable Courier) with pitch 10.0. It works fine now - so
simple, I should know better - knock my head!
