[comp.text.tex] DVI driver for 24-pin LQ-800 ?

wade@msc.edu (Wade Stebbings) (08/29/90)

    I know I've seen posted questions a few times before regarding
DVI drivers for 24-pin LQ-style Epson printers, and I've patiently
awaited the posted answers each time, but nobody has posted one that
I've seen (perhaps the answers were e-mailed).  My need wasn't as
great then, either, so I didn't pursue.  But now, I would really
like to find out the answers to the questions:

    Does there exist a publicly available DVI to LQ-style (24-pin
    printer) driver, or at least something close to start from?

    And, if not a public or free driver, what others might exist?

Specifically, I have an LQ-800.  I've looked on many of the TeX-
related archive sites, but didn't find anything that close--unless
I have missed something.

This is only a low-budget, personal item for my home system, other-
wise, obviously, I'd go out and buy a laser printer.  My plan is to
run TeX & LaTeX on my 286 Microport (unix) system.  Thanks much!

PS: TeX/MF runs trip & trap fine on a Cray X-MP!  Perverse, I know.
