I have been looking around for something similar to the
ANSI X3.64 Terminal Protocol Specification for printers
or printing terminals.   I guess that in some "ideal"
world we would have something analogous to the Virtual
Terminal Protocol for printers, but I am willing and
seeking suggestions regarding printer standards for
simple and medium-complexity printers.
Please don't tell me about Centronics interfaces -
that's hardware cabling.  What I'm interested in is
carriage control, carriage size, forward and backward
vertical and horizontal tabs, etc...

Any thoughts ?

Thanks,
            J. Gordon Beattie, Jr.
