I'm trying to get the Novell PrintServer VAP on a File Server to drive
an Apple Laserwriter II attached to a workstation.  The configuration
details are:

	Netware V2.15 Rev. C
	PrintServer 1.1.0 VAP
	IPX/SPX V2.15 with BYU Packet Driver Interface V2.01

The Laserwriter is attached to the Serial Port of an IBM PS/2 Model 30;
local printing (e.g., from WordPerfect) works fine.  When I run
RPRINTER, the job starts coming (the LWII's receive light starts
blinking), then fails with PCONSOLE complaining that the printer is
offline.  The printer setup in PCONSOLE is:

	Remote COM1
	Interrupt 7
	8 Data Bits
	1 Stop bit
	No Parity
	Use XON/XOFF

The form being used is byte-stream, no banner page.  I thought at first
that XON/XOFF was failing, so I tried to NPRINT a "showpage", and even
that failed.

Does anyone have such a setup working?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

				Mike
