I have an old ImageWriter II connected serially to my BSD box.  I would 
like to setup a spooler with a little bit of smarts.  Anyone have any idea 
how to squeeze more functionallity out of this thing than just straight 
text?

Are there any "printcap" profiles out there for an ImageWriter?  Is there 
some special way of setting up the spooler, so that it can utilize some of 
the printers features?

Big thanks in advance...
