Supplement for configuration information, and for the alias responses
supported by the printer.
The reply to the DA request is sent to the host only after all preceding
data (except DSR) has been processed and printed. This provides a
way for host software to determine when all preceding data has been
successfully printed.

Use DA (generic response) for normal Print manager inquiries and
forward compatibility. No additional data is sent by the printer to the
print manager.
