/* HP820C printer driver for Ghostscript */

/* This driver is designed to work with the HP820Cse and the HP820Cxi.
   It was written without much information from the manufacturer, so
   there are a number of problems.  Although I have no reason to believe
   it, this driver could destroy your printer.  Use it at your own risk.
   The HP1000Cse and HP1000Cxi are reported to be similar printers
   and this driver may work for them too.  Only 8.5"x11" paper is supported.

   The 820C is a "dumb" printer.  All rastering must be done in the
   computer's CPU.  This works well with ghostscript.  The 820C is not
   a PCL printer like nearly all other HP printers.  HP calls the 820C
   a PPA printer.  This printer is unique enough that the driver shares
   no code with other HP printer drivers.

   This driver is still fairly untested.  On my printer it works well
   for printing pages of text in 300 or 600 dpi.  My progress is slow,
   but I expect there will be more releases.  I can't say when, since
   I only spend a few hours on the weekends working on it.

   If you have any bug, comments, patches, or suggestions, feel free to
   e-mail me at scottk@ig.utexas.edu.  Since this is my work address and
   not a work project, I will not be able to spend much time answering
   e-mail.

   Things yet to be done (in order of likelihood):
       simplifying and cleaning of code
           remove hardcoded constants where resonable
       skip ends of lines if blank
       color printing
       bidirectional monitoring/status
       1000C support (no testers, yet)
       720C/722C support
