Hopefully you have a machine with the old style DIN8 mac serial ports (I
suspect you do or you wouldn't be asking about using the SW2).
I have attached Monroe Williams' file on how to set this up. I was going to
give you the link, but appears not to exist any longer :( . I also will
include my printcap file as later versions of lpr ask you to replace one of
the older commands present in the printcap that comes with Monroe's stuff.
I have the SW2 up and running famously here on my ANS 700 with YDL 2.0.
If you have questions, I'd be glad to try and help answering them.
HTH.
