Generic Instructions: CUPS, no spooler
 

Miscellaneous

Comments

I configured it using the RedHat "printtool" program. I selected "Epson Dot Matrix, 24 pin" and the 180x180 resolution output. 360x180 also works, but it's slower and doesn't look much better.

Consumables/Refills: ribbon cartridge ($5)
