Has anyone had any experience hooking up Pacific Page
postscript to a Laser Jet III driven by a Sparcstation I
serial port.  I'm having terrible problems getting the communications
to work correctly.  The people at Pacific Data are absolutely worthless
-- they seem to always return to the safety blanket:  "we only
support DOS machines".

Everything works fine (even at 19.2k baud) using the printer with PCL.
I can only manage to get single page files to print under postscript.
However, longer files never seem to work correctly.  Also, when I simply
send postscript files (followed by control d) the printer does not print.

Has anybody had similar problems?  If not we are going to send out Pacific Page
back to its makers.
