We got a new, loaded HP Laserjet 3 (4 extra Mb's, HP Postscript cartridge)
and I am trying to connect it to an HP9000-350.
I am using the built-in rs-232 port (a 98644 at select code 9).

I am using the Adobe system V transcript release of Postscript
(software that allows unix boxes to generate postscript code and
send it to the postscript printer).
I install everything acording to the transcript instructions and
the LP spooler section of the Sys Admin manual.
I can produce postscript files, but when the system tries to send them
to the printer it fails.
Doing (lpstat -t) reports: printer lj3 disabled by scheduler, cannot
				open /dev/lj3.

A ls -l on /dev/lj3 shows:

/dev/lj3 crw-rw---- 	2  lp  sys  1  0x090000

I do the required "stty xxxxxxx 9600 xxxxxx < /dev/lj3" which the
manual indicates. This call just hangs (I leave  it in the background).

Also, I had been using the rs-232 as a modem port (dial-out) at 2400
baud without any problems. I have not changed any HW configuration
switches.

Can anybody see what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

/Luis Miguel
