Any LaserWriter can be sent to a desired baud rate with the little utility
provided in the TranScript package.  In the misc/etc directory, you'll
find setscc.ps, which sets the serial communications controller.  Change
the "19200" to whatever you want, and send it to the printer.  Then,
change your printcap "br" parameter to match the desired baud rate.
Voila!

If you don't have TranScript, you'll need to write a little bit of
PostScript which opens the statusdict and uses the sccbatch command to
modify the baud rate.  See the PostScript reference manual for more info.
