We have a number of QMS printers and recently acquired a Sun 386i.  I'd
like to speed up one of the printers by hooking it up to the parallel
port.  The QMS' have a centronics interface, but does anyone know how I
can get TranScript to do the right thing, (ie: some magic incantation in
printcap, or anything)?
