The only problem with using NAPLPS (did I get that right?) on a host for
displaying/interpreting graphics is that the encoding is so convoluted
in order to maintain device independence that you must sacrifice any hopes
of getting reasonable speed in order to use it. Even the hardware/firmware
interpreters are excruciatingly slow.
