} A while back, someone posted a description of the commands to send
} to switch a TI microLaser PS from LaserJet mode to PostScript, and
} vice versa, by sending various commands.  Well, I took them home,
} and the PostScript -> LaserJet works fine; the LaserJet ->
} PostScript doesn't work.  Does anyone have the command for
} LaserJet -> PostScript?

The piece of code I use at the bottom of the lp model I use for
Laserjet printing to change the printer back to Postscript after
printing the job in Laserjet, is:

echo "^[^?0"
echo "^D"
sleep 30    # Give the printer time to reset before the next job.

I believe the ^?  is the DEL code.  I find this one hard to
produce in vi, so when I need it I run a script that does echo
"\000" > /tmp/code.  This gives me a file with ^?  in it, which I
read into the file I am editing.
