It doesn't execute the microcode - it's a higher-level implementation. The DUP talks DDCMP in a TCP connection, and only understands DDCMP - not the other (bit stuffing) protocols.

I started a Github repo for that, but populating it hasn't reached the top of my endless list.

I created a printer class driver layer for simh when I did PDF output for all the emulators, but that went into a black hole of "more is not enough" and did not find its way into simh/master. A bridge to lpd should be done that way, and not as an LP20-specific hack.
