Hi,

i modified the rastertolable.c to get support for a

"Tyco Electronics T212M" printer.
see http://www.tycoelectronics.com/catalog/pn/en/E23401-000

I didn't find a documentation for the commands the printer is using,
but i found out it's identical to Zebra EPL2 (page mode) but with one exception.

See the attached patch.

I've tested it and it is working fine, also setting of "Print Rate" and "Darkness".

I don't know how you generate the ppd-file, this is missing. Please add it too (Type 21). thank you.
