Hello,
        We have just received several laserwriters
for our Apollo network and various other machines, and
I have a few questions to ask.

        Two of the Laserwriters work fine running off
of a serial line, using the supplied print server. The
serial line I'm using for those has pins 1 and 7 straight
through (grounds) and 2,3 reversed (receive/transmit)
Another laserwriter is hooked up the same way (I even tried
using one of the cables from the working laserwriters),
but the printer server times out waiting for the Laserwriter
to respond.  The active light on the laserwriter blinks as if
it were receiving data when I start the server, then about
10 seconds later, the server comes back and says "Unable
to communicate with printer".  I'm waiting for an Apple technician
from our communications dept to come and look at it, but
in the mean time, are there any other pins that I should be
using in the serial line (DTR and RTS?). 

Thanks,
