We have a QMS laser printer which has its own language for
printing decent headers. For example,
%!

>From my trying to figure out print filters, it appears that
the output filter gets the header page as formatted by the
lpd daemon. This doesn't help me much for extracting
information to create the header page. The information I
need for my output filter is the raw 'cfxxxx' file's data,
not what lpd does with it.
Is there any way to get lpd to feed that raw cf file
to the output filter? Or is there some other way to do
what I want?
I'm afraid that I'll have to get lpd source or something
like that which I don't want to fool around with.
