Take the 5.0.5 laserjet interface script and make these mods:

  <top snipped>
  nroff=""
  italics=""
  duplex=""
  format=""
  
  # Determine which options have been invoked
  (                                            <-----  Add this line
  for i in $5
  do
        case "$i" in

  <snip>

 #Draining characters might be necessary.
 ${DRAIN}
 
 exit 0 ) | ${LOCALPATH}/netcat -h ngprint  -p 4020  
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^    <-- add this
