It seems that the newer versions of gs have done away with all
support for dotmatrix printers. Versions before 6 used to have
all of these: bmp16 bmp16m bmp256 bmpmono eps9high eps9mid
and epson. If you don't use ghostscript for other things than
viewing ps files (gv) and printing, you may need to downgrade
the gs version. I am still using ver 5.10 :-(
OTOH, I am not quite sure if the epson drivers are compiled in
static within the newer gs itself. You can give this a try and
if it works, things are built in:
Syntax: gs -sDEVICE=<device> -r<xres>x<yres> filename.ps
o 9-pin Epson-compatible printer:
gs -sDEVICE=epson -r60x72 (lowest-resolution and fastest)
gs -sDEVICE=epson -r240x72 (highest-resolution)
o On a 24-pin printer: the lowest resolution is
gs -sDEVICE=epson -r60x60 (lowest resolution)
gs -sDEVICE=epson -r360x180 (highest resolution)
If it does not work, then I suppose there is a need to hunt
for some source of dmp drivers. Wonder if current RH printool
has support for DMPs.
