Now, it seems like the system is kinda workin' with the lp command
spawning a gs daemon and trying to print... But if the Stylus color 800
is on, it locks the entire system(IIci or P475).
The Stylus power switch becomes like a stop/go button for netbsd.
weird. I'm starting to think this Epson might not work with my old
hardware? Some kind of serial clock thing?
Are there binaries to output to a stylewriter 1200 from gs?
Thanks for any and all ideas.
