If the printer uses the standard SCSI print command, then the only
thing you need to worry about is converting raster data to CR-80
commands. Depending on the printer, that may be easy to moderate.
If you need to use custom SCSI commands, then things are a little
trickier, but you can probably start with the current SCSI backend
and rework it to use the proper commands.
