Do you really need to print office documents and images
in graphical mode on your dot matrix printer or do you
actually only like to print plain text with the
printer's built-in character set and font?

Printing office documents and images in graphical mode
on dot matrix printers usually takes ages until such a
printout completes.

If you need to print office documents and images in
graphical mode on your dot matrix printer, see
http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Epson/Epson-Dot_Matrix

In contrast printing plain text with the printer's built-in
character set and font works with the expected speed of dot
matrix printers (not really fast but o.k. for those printers).

Compare "Printing Plain Text in Printer-Specific Code" in
