I can't help with the out of memory problem, but I suspect the second problem
is due to handshaking problems. The Laserwriter can't keep up at 9600 baud
so it sends Xoff and you need software running on the PC that will pause
when it gets Xoff. Note that the Laserwriter comes factory configured for
parity ignored and high bit 0 on transmit so possibly the xoff isn't being
recognized because of its parity (lack of). This happened to me recently, about
two pages of output would come out then the rest gets flushed till it gets
a ^D end of file character. There is a way to permanently set the parity
of the Laserwriter via software, see the manual.
