In general, if you have the option of talking to a printer *natively* in
Postscript, always do so. Most *nix applications output Postscript in any
case, and introducing another translation step is silly.
Exception: you'll need a decent amount of RAM in the printer. The 1300

read the xterm man page, and you'll understand how to invoke xterm in order
to get it to launch bash in the way you want.
