I have seen a file that the people at Frame put out to software program
the laserwriter 2 ntx to talk at 19200. The dip switches only handle
up to 9600 right? Does anyone have this file or can create one like it.
We are using a AT&T 3B2 (yuck!) to handling spooling in a AUFS environment.
Some larger files 1.5 meg+ tend to timeout at the slower speeds (9600). Any
ideas?

PrintCache handled the changing of the baud rates both on the com port and the NTX with no problem.

You might find it easier to just change the timeout value rather than
increasing the baud rate. Include this code in your PostScript document
to disable the timeout feature for the remainder of the job:
0 setjobtimeout
Use the "setdefaulttimouts" operator to change it permanently. If you
really want to change the communication parameters, the code below is
what I use to change the baud rate or parity options on my LaserWriters.
All of this information was gleaned from the appendix describing the
Apple LaserWriter in the PostScript Language Reference Manual (the red
book).
Good luck,
