        !            15: provides the interface to any of the standard
        !            16: DEC line printers on an LP-11 parallel interface.
        !            17: When it is opened or closed, a suitable number
        !            18: of page ejects is generated.

        !            23: Currently only the lowest of the low three bits is interpreted:
        !            24: if it is set, the device is treated as having a 64-character set,
        !            25: rather than a full 96-character set.
        !            26: In the resulting half-ASCII mode, lower case letters are turned
        !            27: into upper case and certain characters are escaped according to
