My original query was:

> I have the job of getting an Apple LaserWriter II working off the
> serial port of an AlphaStation 200 4/166 (running D-UNIX 3.2c). Has

Thanks to the respondents who supplied suitable printcap entries
(sample below); the crucial point is to use the /usr/lbin/ln03rof
filter program.
