wow! thanks this is looking very interesting. A few questions.

  1. pagesize setting is not clear. In the documentation you indicate two numbers, separated by a comma. it seems only the page length setting is accepted.
    -p {612, 792} does not work at all (no surprise)
    -p 612,792 (rejects the 612)
    -p 792 gets accepted, but how to set the page width? or is that a 2nd -p?

  2. if -m is not used, will it take input from standard input, e.g. /dev/ttx.usb/xxxxx

3| is there a way to pipe/send the output to lpr

Where I am going with this... If the app can take standard input and output a .ps to standard output, it can directly input from a serial port connected to an Apple II and shove out each page to the standard printer.

Another option is to provide a commandline input, e.g. -lp where it accepts the printer's name otherwise if -lp is called with no options, just sends directly to lpr, outputting to the default printer.
