I'm trying to set the parity on the serial port of a LaserWriter, and have run into trouble. This is what I try: serverdict begin 0 exitserver %%[ exitserver: permanent state may be changed ]%% statusdict begin 25 9600 64 setsccbatch %%[ Error: invalidaccess; OffendingCommand: setsccbatch ]%% Why on earth do I get an invalidaccess when within a exitserver context? Experimenting reveals that this is the case for *all* operators that change the persistent parameters, for example setdopage, setprintername, and so on. If the password had been wrong, I should have gotten a PasswordIncorrect error, so what on earth is causing the invalidaccess? Help of any kind appreciated. -- Bjorn Larsen University of Oslo, Norway Bjorn.Larsen@usit.uio.no
