I tried:

    echo "\004" | lpr -Plaser
and
    echo "\\004" | lpr -Plaser

but they didn't work.  Thanks for the suggestion.  Erik (ejb@Think.COM), who
had experience with a similar printer, kindly suggested directly sending a
Control-D in a file, but this didn't work either.  :-(  Any other ideas?
