I am in need of some help in getting information out of the postscript ROM
in my Apple LaserWriters (I & II).

Specifically I want to get the printer name, pages printed, baud rate, etc.

I know the sequence for changing printer names 
(statusdict begin 0 .... setprintername) but I have not been able to 
find a good reference to explain the use of these commands.

Does anybody know the ins and outs of these commands or a good reference?

Thanks in advance!
