Thanks,  I'll try that to print graphics and postcript.  My immediate
problem was just getting the printer into text mode.  Someone else
sugested I put an input filter on the queue and have it put an "<ESC>&k2G"
sequence out at the bewginning of eacy file.  It also adds a form-feed to
the end of the file.  This has solved my immediate problem.
