Thanks for the quick response!  I had no time to answer the questions
yesterday...

It's an old Star NX-2420 Rainbow.  I still have several hundred sheets
fan-fold paper to go, then I'm going to replace it with a laser.

CUPS

I don't think I know how to get what you need, here.
localhost:631/printers
gives me this:  http://barts15.htohananet.com/snapshot25.png
and clicking "Configure printer" for LC24-100 brings up only this:

None of the other buttons bring up anything more interesting.  And why is
the quality of my screenshots so bad, I wonder.

That's almost four screensful, and barely legible; not being sure of exactly

Looking forward to what you make of any of this.
