I have not heard of this distinction. Where can I find out about it?

Yes, it did nothing. That is probably becuase I had to delete some files
out of /var/spool/lpd/epsonsc-600 to get my printer to stop trying to get
reset. Or mayby I am invoking it wrone. It keeps trying to reset forever
with text files as well, but will print them when I cat them to /dev/lp1,
so I think this is a magic filter, thing, but what to do about it I have
no clue. Did you have to change anything in your generated config file
besides the entries for ps files?
