I don't know if this is your problem, but I have a LaserWriter IIntx that
I got recently, and I recall it has an AppleTalk (the 4-pin), a serial
(the 9-pin) and a SCSI port for a drive to be extra font space...

I'm unsure at the moment if the printer has an actual 50-pin SCSI on it
right now...  but much apple stuff used the silly 25-pin SCSI, so maybe
you are trying to use a SCSI port as serial....  maybe try the 9-pin
instead.

Not sure of much more than that since I haven't really tried out the
LaserWriter I have yet.
