Close, it's an MX-80.  Your friends biggest problem is that is a
parallel printer (later Epson models which have a serial option <extra
cost>).  Unless someones retrofit the MX-80 with a serial to parallel
converter, the best move is to buy a parallel card.  Some really
cheap ones are available (but may not work with the Print Shop
or other graphics programs).  For only a little more, there are
widely used (and supported by most software) cards such as
the Grappler+ and the Print-It! (the latter is worth a few extra
bucks).
