Linda's suggestions, above, are good ones. Additionally, try these:
Use the RedHat printer tool to set up or edit your printer configuration.
Make sure that the rhs-printfilters.rpm is installed. This "converts" the data and
prints it in the "proper" format.
Try a different driver selection -maybe just epson 9 pin, AND "play" with the
resolutions also. You can add a number of different printers and configurations to
printer tool, and then test them out with the "test" utility. The "help" has a useful
"troubleshooting " section.
Make sure that you "restart" lpd each time you make a changer, or it doesn't take
effect...

Tom
