    _\bL_\bp provides the interface to any of the standard DEC line
    printers on an LP-11 parallel interface.  When it is opened
    or closed, a suitable number of page ejects is generated.
    Bytes written are printed.

    The unit number of the printer is specified by the minor
    device after removing the low 3 bits, which act as per-
    device parameters.  Currently only the lowest of the low
    three bits is interpreted: if it is set, the device is
    treated as having a 64-character set, rather than a full
    96-character set.  In the resulting half-ASCII mode, lower
    case letters are turned into upper case and certain charac-
    ters are escaped according to the following table:

    {         -\b(
    }         -\b)
    `         -\b'
    |         -\b!
    ~         -\b^

    The driver correctly interprets carriage returns, back-
    spaces, tabs, and form feeds.  Lines longer than the maximum
    page width are truncated.  The default page width is 132
    columns.  This may be overridden by specifying, for example,
    ``flags 256'' .
