Thank you.  THe CX4200 driver seems to work fine for black and white
textual documents (I've tried it on LaTeX output) and it looks fine.
Trying to print a test page from CUPS, however, causes it to turn on
show both error lights, then turn itself off.  Testing a bit I seem to
get it mad when I try printing anything in colour.  (Either turning
itself off or locking up with both error lights amber, has to be fixed
by pulling the plug.)

Additionally, escputil with -m escp2-cx4200 -s -r /dev/usb/lp0 produces
no information.  (No error, either; it just prints the banner, a blank
line, then exits.)  The printer also didn't seem to like this very much,
since I had to turn it off and then on again to be able to print black
and white TeX output again.

So, it works, kind of.

Thank you very much.
