Is EPP/ECP relevant to PLIP? The plip(4) manpages I have at ready hand
(5.2 and 9.0) specifically disclaim any such need:
Data is transferred 4 bits at a time, using the printer status lines for
input: hence there is no requirement for special bidirectional hardware
and any standard AT-compatible printer port with working interrupts may
be used.
