Subject: how do you print persistent parameters
Keywords: QUME Scripten PostScript

On campus we have a QUME ScripTEN PostScript laserprinter which for all
intents and purposes is meant to emulate an Apple Laserwriter.
When we print to it from a locally connected Macintosh
it fails with 

error: password incorrect;offending command: exitserver

The QUME ScripTEN has a password set in EEROM statusdict
and we believe that the above error message occurs because the
Macintosh is trying to change a persistent parameter in the printer
but the MAC does not know the password.

Before we remove the password so the MAC can change persistent 
parameters we want to print those persistent parameters so we can
reset them after the MAC job is finished.

A dumb terminal was attached to the serial port on the printer and
that was used to type commands to the printer.
How do we type out persistent printer parameters from statusdict such as
margins,pagecount,sccbatch etc?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
