The first is for a HPLJIII with PacificPage PostScript Emulation, the second
is only for TeX DVI-files, and the third does nothing at all but pushing the
data to the printer. The last one is used mainly for PCs running PC-NFS. Both
are connected via serial line, 2 <--> 3
3 <--> 2
7 <--> 7 and nothing else.

I use this with a laserjet IIIP. Works great.
I've included the output filter, too. It does
some CR LF NL conversions and then forces an
eject page to get the last page out. The printer
is connected via a parallel port driven through
/dev/pp1.

/usr/lib/hplaserjet follows: The ^[ is what `escape' looks
like when you imbed it in the file. So that it would be
visible to you, the characters below actually are `^' and
`[' and *not* the imbedded escape character. If you use
emacs, ^q will allow you to `quote' an escape into the file,
i.e. `^q<escape>' will give you the *correct* ^[. The only
reason I'm belaboring this is that when I first asked this
question, it took me a while to figure out this business of
imbedding the escape characters. Again, don't just try to
cut this shell script out of this mail message and use it as
/usr/lib/hplaserjet. It won't work. Delete the `^['
characters and imbed the escape as given above. Hope this helps.

It uses a home-brewed version of the Lwkit for accounting, and
does not use *any* Newsprint.We purchased this printer with the PostScript
option, so we don't need Newsprint.

---------------------------
Note that baud rate must be set to 9600 (19200 never did seem to work quite
right), and we don't use XON/XOFF (we send graphics to the printer as
well).

Of course, this means that you have to create the /var/spool/hplaser
directory.
