We've just acquired a LaserWriter for use on our Vax. I'd like to hook
a Mac up to it as well, but we don't have the AppleTalk cable required.
What kind of cable do I need to attach one Mac to one Laserwriter? Are any
software changes required to use an ordinary serial cable rather than an
AppleTalk cable?
Alternatively, is there an EASY way (easier than carrying the Mac to the
LaserWriter and swapping cables) to get PostScript output from the Mac to the
Vax and printing it from there?
Please respond via mail, and I'll summarize if I get any response.
