My department has a LaserWriter (II NTX) connected to a LocalTalk network.
It would be a great boon to debugging PostScript code if I could write to
and read from the serial port.  The %stdout file sends data back through
the network...  I don't want to mess around with flipping switches because
a lot of other people use the printer.

Does anyone know how to do this?
