Duh - if you go through that list one by one... do make note of the

that seems to only support the newer printers, like the Stylus
family (at least that what it says it does), but I'll try it.
And I would expect that a search for
ghostscript LQ 550
would propably point you to the 'omni' or lq driver as well.
I got a this driver is not installed when I tried to use the omni
driver. Looks like it's only available for Linux?

I cannot find anything about these models in gimp-print/ghostscript/insert-your-favorite documentations. Just run through the printing section in the manual to set it up. I think I already wrote this: I don't have any problems printing plain text on this LQ-550, but anything else gets out as either PostScript source or junk.

Epson LQ 550
Has anyone managed to print anything but plain text on Epson LQ 550? All I could find is the IBM Omni driver, and that seems to be Linux-only. I've replaced my mother's w98 installation with FreeBSD-4.7/KDE-3.0.3 and this is one of three last things she keeps bitching about.
