Apple's new LaserWriter II is a beauty!
However, its new compliment of ports, ADB, SCSI,
and LocalTalk, do not allow the usual fix for getting rid
of the usual Startup Page.
As I understand it, the previous fix was (taken from a text
file posted in 1986 to CompuServe):
"Change setting on LaserWriter to 1200 baud. Connect a DB-9
to Mini-8 cable from a Mac Plus to the LaserWriter. Run a
terminal program set to 1200 baud, 8 bits, 2 stop, no parity.
Type: executive[cr]
LW: PostScript(tm) Version 23.0
Copyright(c)1984 Adobe Systems Incorporated.
PS>
Type: serverdict begin 0 exitserver statusdict begin false
setdostartpage[cr]
LW: %%[ exitserver: permanent state may be changed ]%%"
Well, I assume the same dialogue with the Postscript driver
is appropriate, the question is, how do you do it?
Apple notes briefly in the owner's manual that the LaserWriter
II NT will always print the startup page unless you have changed
the Postscript setting.
I would really appreciate any help on this.

I have no idea whether it works on the LW II, but the Widgets program included with DiskTop has a function which enables/disables the Startup Page Printing of the LW. A call to CE software might be in order. (Normal disclaimers, ...) -- Rich Straka ihnp4!ihlpf!straka Advice for the day: "MSDOS - just say no."
