Well, my Citizen MSP-50 (with color) only needed a terminfo entry,
which I call citi_msp, and everything runs fine. I don't try to
stress out the printer, tho.

I have no idea about the first question. I do know that I had to
setup a file in /usr/ucblib/doctools/nterm called tab.msp in order
to use the "-Tmsp" option to nroff (instead of that option, the environment
variable TYPESETTER=msp could be used). That file contains info on
how nroff can control the printer. The format is obvious (?) after
you look through one of the other tab.* files...
