I had also a bunch of problems getting the &$#@#@$&mned LaserWriter
printing properly.

I hacked some wiring problems with DTR:

The standart flowcontrols from transcript can be used with the following
cable:

SUN                    LW

2 ---------\ /--------- 3
            X
3 ---------/ \--------- 2

4 --+               +-- 4
    |               |
5 --+               +-- 5

7 --------------------- 7

A while agoo i saw a small PostScript program to fix the problem but i
cannot reproduce that program ( I'm not a great postscript expert ;-( It
was some serverdict bungling....

Hope this will solve your LW+ problems....
