I am modifying a Unix print filter to support syncing with a postscript laser
printer (an apple LaserWriter IInt).

I have the impression that it generates a cntrl-Q and a cntrl-D
on the serial line when it is powered-up (which makes perfect sense).
Is this accurate and true for all postscript laserprinters?
Does it also generate a cntrl-C?
