It's closer to LaserWriter Plus.

This worked OK for us (though 9600 is oh-so-slow):

Local_Printer|lw: \

The only notable limitation here is that you're stuck with 7-bit
data, which isn't a severe restriction, except for a few cases
I've seen where image is used with readstring instead of
readhexstring.

Drop the above in a file, say

mkdir /usr/spool/lw
chown daemon.daemon /usr/spool/lw
chmod 770 /usr/spool/lw
niload printcap . <filename

and restart lpd.
