It would be best if CT just left well enough alone. There are just too
many printer types out there, with different command sequences, to make
it practical to support mode switching reliably.
If anything, there should be no wired in escape sequences. If the need to
support compressed printing from within the application is really that
great, have a "preferences" section where the user can enter the
appropriate control-code sequences.
