There a multiple version of SUNW,bpp so we'd probably need
2 or 3 different manuals. The older versions didn't do that
bi-directional HP/??? printer protocol that the newer ones
do. See recent Solaris header files for what I mean. I believe
the LX, SS5, SS20 used one version and the Ultras use the one
with the funky new signalling.
