I have a QMS-PS810 that has operated quite nicely for
almost 4 years. Recently a problem occurred that has me stumped.

I used to be able to change the baud rate of the the 25 pin
serial port as follows:

serverdict begin 0 exitserver
statusdict begin
25 38400 3 setsccbatch
end

The baud rate of the printer is now stuck at 1200. This
shows up on the startyp page and is indeed the actual
baud rate of the printer. The "sccbatch" operater indicates
that the printer is at 38400 baud, the most recent value
given to the "setsccbatch" operator.

Has anyone else experienced this strange behaviour? Do
I need a new PS interpreter? Is their a simple software
or hardware fix?
