You might find it easier to just change the timeout value rather than
increasing the baud rate. Include this code in your PostScript document
to disable the timeout feature for the remainder of the job:
0 setjobtimeout
Use the "setdefaulttimouts" operator to change it permanently. If you
really want to change the communication parameters, the code below is
what I use to change the baud rate or parity options on my LaserWriters.
All of this information was gleaned from the appendix describing the
Apple LaserWriter in the PostScript Language Reference Manual (the red
book).
Good luck,
Joe Jackson
