[comp.sys.mac] Problem with LaserWriterII NT setting up.

Greetings,

	We have an LaserWriterII NT hooked onto an MicroVax II. I am trying 
to set up a form APPLE so that it can print postscript files generated and 
uploaded from our Macs. However, I cannot seem to make it work. Here is 
what I did.

	I installed in my Mac system folder the LaserWriter drivers that
came in a disk with the LaserWriterII NT. Run MS Word and types a few 
lines. Then, use the Chooser to choose the LaserWriter driver. Finally, 
print the MS Word file with the control-K keys held down. This produces a 
postscript file with header in it. I then upload this PS file, edit it to 
get the header information only; then install it as a form into our
MircoVax printer queue. When I print any PS file generated from Macs with
Control-F held down, I get the error message as follows: 
    %%[Error:invalidaccess; OffendingCommand:setsccinteractive]%%
    %%[Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored]%%.

	I then check the PS heder, it does contain the string 
"setsccinteractive" in a line
   ok{statusdict begin 9 sccinteractive 3 ne exch 0 ne or {9 0 3 
   setsccinteractive}if end}if

	What exactly deos this line do? What is the problem? If anyone 
succeeded in using a LaserWriterII NT the way I described, can you please 
send me the form you use? Thank you very much.
