  NOTES:
  =====
  1. Use only "raw" for 971. For the 981, use "raw" for parallel 
     connections and "raw-s" if it is to be serial. 

  2. Set up spool directories as shown in the following examples:
  
     mkdir /var/spool/calcomp
     chmod 775 /var/spool/calcomp
     chown daemon.daemon /var/spool/calcomp
  
  3. Set up a log file as per the following example:
  
     touch /var/spool/calcomp/logfile
  
  4. Start the printer command line example (where "ccp" is the 
     CalComp device name):

     lpc restart ccp
