Is there a way in *software* (via Postscript) to get an Apple
LaserWriter NTX to switch among it's various printer emulation modes
(HP LaserJet+, Diable 630, & Postscript). I know it can be done via dip
switches, but our printer is used with a spooler among different
systems, so we'd like to switch printer emulation modes via software.

I know that the Ricoh PC Laser 6000/PS can switch emulations (and even
interfaces: Appletalk, RS-232, Parallel) via a Postscript program.  Or
via escape sequences if it is in HP LaserJet 2 mode.

I have looked in the Apple LaserWriter Owner's Guide and the Red, Blue,
and Green Adobe books to no avail.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
