   This came just in from the linux-usb mailing list. Does anybody
   know about these initialization strings that are sent by the
   Windows drivers? I've seen something similar with the 740 driver,
   however the job prints even when I remove this special init string.
   The stuation with the 760 seems to be different.

In light of all this weirdness we're seeing, I'm beginning to wonder
if this is our problem after all.  The printout someone sent me from a
750 contained exactly this string, also.  I'm going to stick it in;
perhaps you could try it after I commit this?

   FWIW I've just managed to get the EPC760 working via USB (2.2.14 kernel
   with 2.3.39 backpatch) using a uniprint - stcany.upp - ghostscript
   combination, by adding an extra initialisation string in stcany.upp.
   The string is
      00 00 00 1b01 40 45 4a 4c 20 31 32 38 34 2e 34 0a 40 45 4a 4c 20 20
   20 20 20 0a =20
   Doing it this way the string is sent at the start of each print job,
   but I believe that the printer really only needs it once - on the
   initial connection..
