Hmm, so the printer is, or it is not, running under CUPS?
(Apple now is the primary author of CUPS, so it would seem natural to me to
run the printer thru CUPS via Apple's print stuff, rather than thru a Xerox
line printer daemon... this would also make this work on Linux, or any other
Unix that runs CUPS (common Unix Printer ...something (: ) )
If it is, then you should be able to just throw the output to a file (a la
"E-uae sends printer (or serial) output to a file) and shovel that off to
CUPS. I _think_ I did it that way when I needed to dump output from the
Amiga off to a PDF a bit ago.
I'll test when I'm at home, and have installed your package.
