Apple LaserWriter NT with apsfilter 

Dear Help,

I'm trying to use an Apple LaserWriter NT with my PS/2 9577 print
server.

An Apple LaserWriter is either an AppleTalk printer or a serial printer.
I'm using it as a serial printer. It only support PostScript Level 1, so
I added the following line to "apsfilterrc"

	GS_FEATURES '-dLanguageLevel=1'

The characteristics of the printer are:
	Data Transfer Rate:	9600
	Parity Check		No
	Number of Data bits	std
	Stop bits		1
	Handshake		XON
	Mode:			PostScipt Batch Mode.

I run "/usr/share/apsfilter/SETUP" and install "PSgs" as my filter

I select the interface as: /dev/ttyS0

I select software hand shaking

I select Data Word length as 8

I select no parity

I select stop bit as 1

When I specify the printing of a Test page, I get nothing. Is it obvious
that I am making a basic mistake?

Thanks and Best Regards,
				Brian McHugh
