Thanks, all. I found the old termcap entries, and it's definitely not
EBCDIC, as it just understood ASCII with CRLFs. A venerable polymath of
my acquaintance (Ted Harding -- mathematician, linguist, troff guru) has
offered some additional help, so I think I'm set.
The two biggest problems:
* my distro considers parallel to be a 'legacy device', which you have
to build in support in the kernel.
* 9 ASCII characters are missing from the printer's repertoire, so no C
source for me ;-)
thanks,
Stewart
