   Tiff compression for PCL, EPSON and CANNON is nearly identical.
   ( judging from the gimp-print code )

For Epson, it's actually run length encoding, not TIFF mode.  Maybe
they're the same thing, and there's just an additional funky command
set for TIFF mode (which, mind you, I've never actually seen anything
use).
