uport lp device problems, HP LaserJet II wont work

[Rick Richardson]

Here is the lp printer interface that we supply with JetRoff.  It
handles serial or parallel configurations, and translates CR/LF
by default, but you turn this off with the "-otroff" option to
"lp" when you want to print troff or graphics.
