For all those with similar desires to write a 1.3 printer driver
for the printer of their dreams (or at least the one they own)
the information you need, along with sample source code to some
of our drivers is available as part of the 1.3 Native Developers
Update disk set, available for $20 from CATS.

(those of you who sent me mail asking should receive a
 very similar reply shortly :-)  )

Having the Rom Kernal Manuals doesn't hurt either.
