The following will do the trick. Just add a 5vdc solid state relay
('cause you can't sink too much current out of the RS232C port).
Substitute "2", "4" or "6" in the code below to turn on either DTR, RTS
or both signals. "0" for off.
Change SWDEV in the lpswitch.h file to be the serial port you intend to
use for the relay. I'm using some optically isolated relays I found in
town for $5.00 Cdn. The box to put it in cost more than the relay.
There is a bunch of extra defines in the .h file that were needed for
the larger project this was part of. Just ignore them, they won't hurt.
Call this program from your dialplan, and voila.
Compile with cc -i lpon.c -o lpon

* lpon.c Lineprinter ON

*
* (c) David Cook, 1994
*
* Set signlal lines on serial port to turn on 5vdc
* signal. Used for solid-state relay (low current
* draw on RS232C port) to switch high voltage/high
* current load for printer.
*
* Part of an intelligent print spooler to only power
* on/off high draw printer when required.
*
* Usage: lpon <device> <bits to set>
* For example, lpon /dev/cua4 4 to set bit 3 on
* port /dev/cua4.
* "4" = 00000100 or bit 3 which is DTR
* "2" = 00000010 or bit 2 which is RTS
* "6" = 00000110 or both DRT & RTS
