Which kind of document type do you like to print on such
a Line-Matrix impact printer?

Probably not the nowadays usual office documents like PDFs
with many nice colored graphics included but instead
I guess you may like to print only plain ASCII text.

If I am right you may not need a special driver at all because
I assume that those printers can print plain ASCII text directly.

You may have a look first at
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_a_Printer
and then perhaps regarding "use a dot matrix printer
to fill in forms with carbon copies on continuous stock" see
