I have a NEC laserprinter that talks PostScript that I want to use the RT, but I am not having any luck with it as a PostScript printer. I have tried both the serial and parallel "other printer" devices definitions. I think that AIX (piobe) or the "devices" definition of the printer is sending carriage control information that I don't need with the PostScript files. I have been successful in using the printer in "DIABLO" mode, so I don't think it is a simple wrong cable/ operator error communications problem. Any suggestions, how-to advice, examples would be greatly appreciated!
