Update
Okay, here's a little update. I was playing around and decided to actually set the printer up using Mac's little GUI. I set it up as a Generic PostScript printer, called it Skuffa, and then ran:
echo '\033p07y' | lpr -P Skuffa
It, for the first time, worked! I was happy, until I found out that it had printed meters of some code, starting with the line "%!PS-Adobe-3.0".
Now, I don't want that to happen again. I think my problem was making the printer into a Generic PostScript printer instead of just a Generic one.
Are there any other tips you'd like me to consider about this command before I try this again?
(the register that this is connected to is actually being used at the moment, but I'd really like to finish this functionality today)

NAME
sysman_intro - Introduction of SysMan applications
DESCRIPTION
SysMan is a suite of applications for managing Tru64 UNIX systems. The SysMan applications provide a simple, easy to use, graphical user
interface (GUI) for common system management tasks including installation and configuration.
When you follow the installation instructions in the Installation Guide, the installation GUI, Installation Setup, is displayed automati-
cally.
To help you prepare the system for general use, the Tru64 UNIX: System Setup checklist is displayed when you log in as root for the first
time after performing an installation.
SysMan applications and help are available from the Application Manager (tool drawer) icon on the CDE front panel, or from the SysMan
Applications panel above the SysMan Station icon on the root CDE window.
For additional information, see the Welcome to SysMan help volume by performing the following procedure: Click on the Application Manager
icon (the file drawer) on the CDE front panel. Double click on the System_Admin application group icon. Double click on the Welcome to
SysMan icon.
If you are not running CDE, but have installed it, you can open the Welcome to Sysman help volume by entering the following sequence of
commands at the command line: /bin/sh PATH=$PATH:/usr/dt/bin export PATH DTHELPSEARCHPATH=/usr/dt/appconfig/help/C/%H export DTHELPSEARCH-
PATH DTUSERSESSION=${USER}-`uname -n`-0 export DTUSERSESSION dthelpgen -dir $HOME/.dt/help/$DTUSERSESSION dthelpview -helpVolume browser
