Thanks to all that responded.
The problem was really a hardware problem in the serial port
of the LaserWriter. It receives data but could not transmit.
The most helpfull advices came from Andrew Luebker, and
Wilton Speziali Caldas.
In both cases, I could determine that LaserWriter didn't give any
any return.

Wilton gave me the check and mate!

Other people pointed me to check the line (what I did changing the tty port
to another one I use with modems)
Some suggested to check the right directory to install.
