Architecture: generic

With the described hardware module, you are able to control the reset line
of the internal parallel port explicitly via software. This allows you to
reset a connected printer from any state of the printer (e.g. after you
aborted printing).

The schematic for the module is included.

The software consists of a program like "InitPrinter", but also performs a
real reset of the printer.
