Before posting this I had already acquired a Lexmark 2580 form 
printer relatively cheaply.  Apparently my printing problem was
ulpt related.  Using the parallel port and /dev/lpt0 works great.
The ink is dirt cheap, the paper is a little more expensive, 
but not much more regular print paper. I hadn't used lpd prior 
so the need a filter was new to me.  Wrote a real ugly filter in 'c' 
that takes care of carriage returns, etc.
