Yup, that is what we need.

Why the map=297 line by itself? If it is a command line argument then
shouldn't the map=297 argument in the outputcommand argument be enough?
I still prefer environment variable, though. It seems to me that in the
future we would want the ability to change the behavior of scs2* without
restarting lp5250d. An environment variable would allow that.
