Does anyone use an Apple LaserWriter II  Postscript printer under FreeBSD?  I 
tried all of the tricks in the handbook, and lpr still won't print 
larger graphics files.  Files that are largely text come out ok (usually).  

The Serial cable I'm using uses full handshake-- is this ok?  It prints OK 
under Windoze for SleepGroups, so I assume that lpr is not paying attention to 
the handshakes.

Anybody got a /etc/printcap file I can "borrow"?  I'd really appreciate it.  
BTW, I wish to thank everyone on the FreeBSD development team for their 
efforts.  You've created a wonderful operating system.  

Thanks!
