 Adding a new printer
 ********************
 
    This appendix covers adding a new ESCP/2, PCL, or Canon printer.
 Writing a new driver module is not covered.
 
    The three steps to adding a printer are:
 
   1. Add an entry to `printers.xml'
 
   2. Add the appropriate code and data to the appropriate driver module
 
   3. Tune the printer
 
    Printer information is stored in two places: in `printers.xml'
 (which contains the list of printer models available to the the
 upper-level application), and in the appropriate driver file
 (`print-escp2.c', `print-pcl.c', or `print-canon.c').
