Re: Apple LaserWriter NT with apsfilter

["Brian J. McHugh" <bjmchugh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Apsfilter,

Concerning my Apple LaserWriter NT, I am able to configure it so that it
has the following settings:

	Data Transfer Rate:	9600
	Parity Check		No
	Number of Data bits	8
	Stop bits		1
	Handshake		DTR (Hardware)
	Mode:			PostScipt Batch Mode.

I'll play around with this, but concerning the apsfilter setup program,
I have doubts that the program will be able to determine that a specific
printer can print only PostScript level 1 when the printer name isn't
specified until after the printing of a test page is attempted.

Thanks,
	Brian
