Oh the 8056, what memories! It would take about half an hour to print out a DP 
Astrologer graphic, but it worked, if you can (still) find the (expensive) 
paper!

Does it still require coal to be put in the back? LOL

John, you can get a replacement manual for this printer from my website:

http://www.dilwyn.uk6.net/docs/manuals/ser8056.zip

It lists the code, which IIRC is a subset of very basic Epson commands, 
including a 60 dots per inch graphics mode. Control codes are listed from page 
21.

Some of Quill's simpler printer drivers like the Epson FX80 might be able to 
drive it, although check if the end-of-line character combination is right, as 
I can't remember if it needs LF (10), CR (13), or both.
