Re: tn5250 printer emulation

The one thing that struck me about the current tn5250 printer emulation was that
it relies on a SCS to ASCII translator.  This is a bit unreliable considering
the page-layout nature of SCS (minimal that it is).  What we really need is a
SCS->Postscript translation.  Then use Ghostscript to do conversions for PCL or
Epson printers.
IMHO, of course.
