This is a request for help.  I have hooked up a laserwriter ntx to
a serial port on my 386 AT clone running microport's unix 3.0e.
I have configure a postscript printer device in the spooling system.
The configuration is 9600 baud N81.
Almost everything works right.  Hooking up a breakout box to the serial
line I do notice that the file is transmitted to the printer.
However, nothing every prints!!
I do notice something being sent from the printer to the cpu when the
file is finshed being sent to the printer.

Does anyone on the net have any ideas to get this thing to print?
Do I need a special postscript printer interface program or script??

Thanks,
Sandy Mustard
