Printer for V41?

A real shame, V41 is a MCODER's dream for its breakpoint and trace capabilities!

Indeed. I use V41 to test all of the CL code I write. I would be incredibly
awesome if I were competent enough to modify V41 to support the CL. But
that is not to be.

On a somewhat related note, am I correct in thinking that HP never released the
source code for the printer or the IR printer? I would really like to understand
how they work, but without comments it's nearly impossible. I've been comparing
the code for these two cases, and it's clear that the printer code was the
starting point for the IR printer code, because there is striking similarity between
the various routines. But it's hard to figure out how the various status bits are
arranged, or even what they are. Very frustrating.
