It's a BJ50C.

Oops.  I just assumed they were all compatible.  Anyway, it's a little tiny
printer which is either black&white or color at any given time, if memory
serves.  Parallel port and IR.  I was planning to use it over parallel.  It
takes a while to charge, though, and I don't think I have a fresh ink
cartridge, so I wanted to ask about this before spending much time and effort
trying to get it ready again.

I'm reasonably sure it can print raw text *somehow*, simply because the Psion
doesn't seem to have font/pixel engine drivers for it.

Ideally, I'd want to do output from something like staroffice or even *gasp*
netscape, but I'd be fine with TeX or troff output.  I suppose ghostscript is
a way to make almost everything work.  :)
