Under centronics mode, the returned error message go out the 9 pin
serial port.  Just why they should go out that particular RS-422
port, is a mystery.  Normally people use the 25 pin port.  You have
to have your computer print to a paralell port, and read from a RS-422
port essentially at the same time.
