Oh, I was talking about just the kernel driver.  I was expecting to
throw page bitmaps at it.  That's what I did with the SPARCprinter; the
lpvi driver I did back in 2002 (that one I _have_ found) just takes
page bitmaps from userland and throws them to the hardware.  That's all
I'd expect from an np driver - and all I'd want, actually.

That's a possibility.  But it won't matter unless/until I can find the
software.
