pbm2ppa project, i've got a nasty hack going over here for the printer i
picked up yesterday. It's an apollo p1200, that so far i've been unable to
find the right driver for. It's starting to look like a winprinter, but
i've hacked around that, because my windows box has no parallel port.
I installed the driver on the win box directed it's port to a file,
this file then gets uploaded to the linuxbox with the printer attached
then my crontab/spooler cat's them direct to /dev/lp0.
It's a nasty hack but my mom can print now so maybe i get some work done
soon
