I am having a problem with an AST Turbolaser/PS printer.  It is
currently configured for hardware handshaking, and I need xon/xoff.

When I send the standard code that does the exitserver (with the
CORRECT password) and then the setsccbatch,  it comes back with the
following: %%[ Error: invalidaccess; OffendingCommand: setsccbatch ]%%

I haven't heard back from my calls to AST support, and am really
frustrated about this.  It seems that the exitserver works, but I
cannot change anything.  How can I change to xon/xoff?
Any help would be appreciated... 

complete session follows.
