Hi,

I believe the Personal Pageprinter comes in two flavors, bus attached
and serial line/appletalk attached.  The original Personal Pageprinter
is bus attached while the Personal Pageprinter II is serial line
attached.  If the devices command does not know about the Personal
Pageprinter II try using the "osp1" (other serial printer) option.  This
will at least get you started.  You can tweak the specifics as needed.

As for the bus attached version, wow is it fast when sending hugh data
files to the printer.  I routinely print whole page raster files
described in Postscript.  On a laserwriter connected with a 9600 baud
line this can easily take 10 minutes just to transfer the data.  With
the bus attached 4216 the prints come out in about 30 seconds!  If you
print, or are planning to print, large amounts of complex images
described in Postscript you may wish to look into the bus attached
version of the 4216.
