Oh, ok, I was naively thinking that it was a sort of end character. A
clarification. The line in my paste

Protocols	TCP/IPIPP 

is due to a bad text formatting, because of its HTML origin. It is
actually:

Protocols	[X] TCP/IP	[X] IPP

where the user has the chance to select one of them, or both. The
default was with both selected. I made an attempt with just TCP/IP
selected and

{ printf 'test \014'; sleep 5; } | telnet <printer_IP> 9100

but again the famous blank page was generated.

It is enormously useful, because, yes, I have a big confusion about how
printing is.
Thank you!
