Nathan,

Try using the "Epson 24-pin Series" driver bundled with CUPS.  It is designed to work with all LQ-series dot matrix printers.

The printer did a test page which only had what looked like ACICS (Spelling?) on it.  I tried printing a picture that I created in Photoshop and it didn't print anything but more of those same characters.  I don't mean to be dumb, but if someone could email me and tell me if I'm doing something wrong or have someone to email back and forth to help me out, I would be forever grateful.  Thank you in advance.
