Me and my big mouth!   (just kidding! ;)

DISCLAIMER:
Since you didn't specify, I'm assuming you're running Redhat
for all the startup questions.  If not, please ignore!

Does it have to be run before lpd?
If not, add it to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local .

The /etc/rc.d/rc?.d/* files are symbolic links,
not actual files (at least on Redhat!) so you can't
put anything there.  The actual scripts are in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/*  (at least on Redhat!)

You could modify /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd and add the stty
command, but it may get lost on the next update.

Otherwise, you could add this to the end of rc.local:

 /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd stop
 stty -F /dev/ttyS0 19200
 /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd start

On Redhat, it's should start for you automatically.
