Dave;

Yes - 1st thing I did was enable the primary serial port ONLY.
udev seems to be running.  With the printer (a Dymo SE300 serially 
connected label printer that accepts ascii data) and looping through all 
the /dev/tty* devices I get output on /dev/ttyS2 (strange 'cause its the 
only serial device connected and I've only the primary COM enabled in 
bios).   So, it appears that this would be the logical device name.

But, when I try to define it to cups, cups coughs and will NOT accept it 
as a valid port/device.

I am trying to connect this printer as a ser device addressable by cups 
able to handle print jobs from any authorized source using cups.

Any other suggestions GREATLY appreciated!
