We attached a laserwriter to our 3Server3 running 3+ ver. 1.6. It will print out 2 or 4 pages (depending on the size of the print spooler buffer) then die with a postscript error. The printer is connected with a four-wire serial cable with TD, RD, and GND connected. It is a 9600 baud printer set to XON/XOFF and has 2MB RAM. When I've run into this problem with a laserwriter connected to a PC, the retry parameter of the DOS MODE command fixed things, but unfortunately the Retry Count here doesn't apply to 3Servers, only PC Servers. Any hints would be appreciated. SPECIFICS: 3+Share Network Printer Configuration Ver. 1.6: Configure as a network printer? Y Post Script Y Eject a page between jobs?

Natural History Survey klefstad@uiuc.edu I have the same problem, but I use the combination hardware and software setting for 3 share and have what I feel are the appropriate lines connected I would appreciate any information you get on solving this problem. I am also having a problem getting a 3 server to support Mac's, it has an internal appletalk connector but my macs cannot get on after the Mac software is installed. I have a 386 I use as a server and have not had the problem there, but I can't get a postscript printer to run off of the PC server right. Does anyone have these configurations operating and if so what did you do to get it to work. Thanks in advance. Marty Adelman cpl-mfh!martya@acsu.buffalo.edu acsu.buffalo.edu!cpl-mfh!martya x x x
