The application I have in mind is to print names on gummed labels, which can then be stuck on "Hello My Name Is" tags for a conference we put on every year. The output font needs to be legible from a distance. If it matters, we run SysV on a 3B15 and available printers are an AT&T 5310 and an AT&T 470 (each is a clone of something more common, but I'm not sure what). Of course, if I get a well-written and -documented program intended for any reasonably vanilla printer I should be able to hack it for use here.
