Help connect HP LJ II with Postscript Cartridge to Next Station

Can some one tell me how to do this please. What I have is a serial
interface 300 dpi postscript cart equipped printer which I connected
to port a of the next with a Null-modem cable made as specified in the
appendix of the NeXT user manual. Since the printmanager seem to know
about laserjet III, laserjet 2D, Okidata laser, many NEC models, I tired
all of them with no luck at all. May be I am missing something. Have I got
to set the serial port with special permissions? I made sure the printcap
(via nidump printcap) entry looked okay, i.e 9600 baud and port a. The error
I get is that lpq -l report time out printer not responding etc.. But looking
at the printer nothing SEEMS to come there.

Any body did some thing similar? Please help. Thanks.
