    The 2500C is only usable with Windows unless you have the optional
    Postscript support. Without Postscript, it's basically a winprinter,
    apparently. :-(

    As best I recall, the basic config was queue "lpr" or something like that on
    the laserjets with MIO. HP doesn't seem to have the generic lpr setup info
    online, even for a printer that I know had it in the printed manual as of a
    few years ago. I can't lay hands on the manual until Monday at the
    earliest. Hmmm, there's a vague hint in the Slowaris instructions that
    perhaps queue names "text" and "raw" might be useful. Or, like their web
    site these days, not. :-(
