We have the beta-test firmware which gives one a "reverse channel"
serial line for communication from the printer to the host.  There is a
new QUIC ^INFO command for requesting various status information,
including available memory, whether a given font is downloaded, etc.

I have incorporated support for it in my DVI filter and it has worked
well during the two weeks I have had it.  

I presume the firmware will be released soon.
