        Hi all;

  There is a manual that comes with you printer that tells you all about the
codes to make it do everything. Here's a programm that spits out the ESC
codes to set it to print files. This needs to be run every time the printer
power-cycles like this.

                setdjLF > /dev/lp

#include <stdio.h>
/*
  This program alows the DeskJet-500 to print Unix files!!
*/

void main()
{
        printf("\x01b\x026\x06b\x033\x047");
}

        How to setup the printcap to cause lpd to barf this to the printer
before every text file, I don't know.
