   Printing on Commodore printer without Co

   Hello fine Commodore people,    
      
   I have Commodore MPS 803 printer (I think it is 803, it is in the storage at   
   the moment) and have been toying with the idea of hooking it up to Raspberry   
   Pi or similar... And later maybe even add a CUPS driver and allow remote   
   printing.    
      
   I think I did try to dig up information for this couple of years ago and came   
   to understand that the printer serial protocol is non-standard and   
   documentation for it is hard to find. Someone also mentioned some Nuts and   
   Volts article but I was unable to    
   get it from the publisher.    
      
   So I would appreciate any information on C64 serial printer protocol / modern   
   tools / github repos / whatever you can provide.    
      
   Thanks!
