tWo issues, the possible need for a null modem connection and 
incompatible handshakes, seem to complicate my attempt to
print on a Laserwriter IINT connected with a serial cable to
my ToshibA T-1000 laptop.  

Any advice?   The IINT manuals (2 editions) seem to give contradictory
information regarding the appropriatEness of a null modem connection.

Regarding handshakE, a manual indicates that the IInt uses
XON/XOFF while MS-DOS machines are  alleged to use DTR/DSR or
whatever.   The manual gives a program one is supposed to send
to the IINT from the MS-DOS machine to change the handshake of
the IINT to DTR/DSR (?).  BUT, if the handshakes are 
incompatible, how can one send that program, and if one can send
that program, why can't one send one's PostScript print file
program instead, which is the actual goal?

Thank you.
