On some level it must be possible to generate output on such devices, but with a *lot* of work; it's probably impossible within the printer definition files, but perhaps someone could write a TSR that converts, say, the Epson LQ escape codes into the right sort of gunk to feed the printer transparently. The HP DeskJet 720C I have at home is a printer that won't accept plain ASCII text, and requires the HP drivers to do anything; it wasn't supported at all under Linux when we bought it, not sure if someone's worked out how to drive it since then.
