I already found there dhcpd, 117K.  No need for it now since I have 
manually assigned an IP address via the control panel but it would be 
educational.

I really need to learn first how to clean paper paths.

In the middle of messing up busybox (and disabling BL2) someone sent me a 
pdf file which I wish I could have simply printed.  xpdf is TOO SLOW.

gs should let me print pdf files 1 page at a time.  -dFirstPage=1 
-dLastPage=2.  I have not yet got gs to work command-line, only with the 
print filter.

I tried gs -q -dSAFER -sDEVICE=deskjet -r300x300 -sPAPERSIZE=letter 
-sOutputFile=- - < filename.pdf > /dev/lp0
This did not work.  I will try again after I fix the paper jam.

/var/spool/lpd/postscript/deskjet.filter < filename.pdf > /dev/lp0 worked.
(Or something similar to these.  I have a script with < $1 > which I use 
with the filename.  printdj filename.)

How would I modify the print filter to let me specify first and last page.
Do I use $2 and $3?  -dFirstPage=$2 -dLastPage=$3
