In all the discussion I hoped to see something about the new LaserWriter NTXII. THere is no hardswitched baud rate setting for anything greater than 9600. The manual discusses software setting greater than 9600. Is anybody using this new LaserWriter at higher than 9600 Baud and how do you have the Sun setting the higher baud rate.

Any LaserWriter can be sent to a desired baud rate with the little utility provided in the TranScript package. In the misc/etc directory, you'll find setscc.ps, which sets the serial communications controller. Change the "19200" to whatever you want, and send it to the printer. Then, change your printcap "br" parameter to match the desired baud rate. Voila! If you don't have TranScript, you'll need to write a little bit of PostScript which opens the statusdict and uses the sccbatch command to modify the baud rate. See the PostScript reference manual for more info.
