You should maybe edit the sample printer interface script taking into
account the following things:

1 - "ffstrip" is required by the script but not found on my system.

2 - when you use the -oraw option, it's not really raw, it still sends
some init codes.

attached is my take on the above.

I also made a copy of sco's HPLaserJet which preserves everything from the
original and only adds the netcat stuff. In other words, if you had a
printer set up and working using HPLaserJet, it should work the same using
HPLaserJet.nc without any pain in the neck surprises. (as long as you
remember that any LPD printers were not using their interface script
before, and now they will.)

I have doubts about the legality of posting that script, but the changes
were simple enough I think I can make a script that will create a
HPLaserJet.nc by reading (and injecting stuff) your own HPLaserJet. Too
bad diff or patch are not part of the base system...
