Actually, in my case, I had to write a filter as well...  Turns
out the printer I am using (it's my roomates) needs to have ^C
doubled up in graphics mode.  Occasionally, of the end graphics
sequence is run across causing no end to havoc.  I guess other
printers have such long "end-graphics" sequences that they are
rarely run across.

Anyway, the template that comes with IntroCAD has next to no
information on how to set up your own description file.  Anyone
out there have any thorough info on how to set these up correctly?
(I have mine set up right, but I am planning on buying a better
printer, and don't want to have to do all this again...)
