	I have recently aquired the use of a Laserwriter IInt, and have been
trying to hook it to my 030' 1.0 cube. No luck. Has anyone else done this
before?

	I have looked at the FAQ, no help there, I have a printcap entry for
a laserwriter plus, and a spool directory for the same. I have pin-outs for
both ends of the cable (din 8 to DB25), and I have checked that the points
that the laser writer lists as important, and they are correct. I think the
problem may be in some form of hardware flow control, because the printer
'dialog' thing indicates that printing is occuring much faster than I thought
possible.

	Any help at all will be much appreciated! :-)
