If you hit `/SPOOL/{TEST,IDEAS,NOTES}` you get some binary data; `file` tells me it's "HP PCL printer data". Not sure what to do next with that...

Got an HP LaserJet around? Two lines of PJL and you can send it to the printer...

I wonder if there is a PCL viewer for OS X... It's really meant to be just for spooling data.

Edit: installing GhostPDL now.

I do. Looking up PJL now.
