Nooooooooooooo!  I didn't mean it was a "label" printer, I meant it had
the HP "label" on it!  Because I really have my doubts whether they're
the OEM of it, since I heard a long time ago they don't make dot matrix
printers anymore.

Anyway it is HP model LPQ-800 and it seems to be on a par with the old
HP256x line, as opposed to the HP293x.  (I've also seen HP256x's used for
forms also.)  I think the '800' part of the model stands to represent 800LPM.
