+This is a description of the ESC/P2 raster commands used by the
+gimp-print plugin and Ghostscript driver, which is a subset of the
+complete command set. The full documents are found on
+@url{http://www.ercipd.com/isv/edr_docs.htm}. Note that these are
+<STRONG>not</STRONG> always correct, and are certainly not complete.
+
+</P>
+<P>
+All ESCP/2 raster commands begin with the <SAMP>`ESC'</SAMP> character (1b hex),
+followed by either one or two command characters and arguments where
+applicable. Older commands generally have one command character. Newer
+commands usually have a <SAMP>`('</SAMP> (left parenthesis) followed by a
+command character and a byte count for the arguments that follow. The
+byte count is a 16-bit (2 byte) binary integer, in little endian order.
+
+</P>
+<P>
+All arguments listed here are of the form <SAMP>`name[bytes]'</SAMP> where
+<SAMP>`[bytes]'</SAMP> is the number of bytes that comprise the argument. The
+arguments themselves are usually one, two, or four byte integers, always
+little endian (the least significant bits come first). Presumably this
+is to match Intel processors.
+
+</P>
+<P>
+In some cases, the same command sequence identifies different versions
+of the same command, depending upon the number of bytes of arguments.
