to reprogram you apple laserwriter speed from 9600 to 57600
CAT this to /dev/ttyS0 or
type filename > COM1
You can change the comms settings on the printer by executing the 
following bit of PS:
serverdict begin 0 exitserver
statusdict begin
25 57600 0 setsccbatch
to change the 25-pin port to 57600 baud, no parity.
im using 57600,8,n,1  xon/xoff software handshaking
works well and is bareable for speed as well.
speedy for text and acceptable for graphics.
