Having recently purchased an HP DeskJet 500, and having recovered from the
shock of having a quiet printer that turns out lovely output, I have now 
started on software development. 

Unfortunatelty, I have discovered a slight problem in the user manual:
although it describes the printer control language itself, it leaves
out certain critical elements to do with the format of the graphics
command. 

In summary:

	* What is the format for plain (ie non-compressed) data transfer?
	* If the various compression schemes are known what are they?
	* Is the technical reference manual (which HP does not supply
	  with the system) really useful?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
