I tried to post an article about this software two weeks agoo.

The problem with the DEC symbiont software is that it only supports
a DEC LN03r laser. This bastart does talk postscript but it has
some extentions in systemdict that are not standart. We are currently
trying to get it running but we have no result so far.
The major problem(s) is the PS call /papersize that does not exist
in my Adobe manual. We think we can expect more than this call alone..
We tried to get some help at DEC Holland but they are just connecting us
to several phones instead of giving real support.
So ........ Beware of using non DEC LW's
Help !! is there someone who has the DEC laserprinter symbiont running ??
