Well, have you tried increasing the speed from 9600 to 19200? I don't know where I got the following PS code, but it changes the PS printer (at least the Apple LaserWriter Plus) from 9600 baud to 19200. Remember you will have to change the /etc/printcap entry to reflect this speed change. %! 0000 % Server Password statusdict begin 25 sccbatch 0 ne exch 19200 ne or {serverdict begin exitserver} {pop end stop} ifelse statusdict begin 25 19200 0 setsccbatch end % note -- next line has an actual CTRL-D >Thanx, >Marc Johnson >Rockefeller Univ.
