It will work with vt100 emulations (Fujitsu's `INETbios telnet', MS `TELNET'
and `Tera Term'), but the PC itself may not accept the ansi escape codes
lpansi uses to switch stdout to the printer and then back to the display.
I got lpansi to play `jingle bells' (I think it was something like `printf(
"\x1B[7");' -- good for testing), but never could get a print out because
the PC only understood ^P _keyed_ in, and did not understand the escape codes.
