I just started using an ancient Apple LaserWriter via its serial port.
There seems to be an occasional flow control problem.

Unlike most "modern" ps printers,
this version of the hardware/software only supports software flow control.

I vaguely recall a "uart.ps" that modified the serial driver to fix the
problem. It might have even been developed by Adobe.

Anyone ever heard of it?  Or possibly have a copy?
