Bye CUPS: Printing with Netcat
I recently tried that with my Epson Ecotank, but instead of rendering the document, it just printed out the literal source code. It then held the paper halfway through the machine until I sent enough newlines.
I was only half disappointed.

That is what a form feed character is for (ASCII 0x0C).
