If it's Epson Stylus C80 then it has Esc/P2.  www.epson.com ,
http://www.epson.co.uk/product/printers/inkjet/styc80/spec.htm
Should therefore work with basic Epson drivers, AFAIK -
Esc/P2 _is_ backward compatible, isn't it?

Esc/P Raster is graphics-only, MS-Windows only, but I presume,
very possibly wrongly, that historic Epson FX-80 + colour format
of data is used.  Esc/P Raster _and_ Esc/P2 is good enough for our
FX-80 compatible software.

Sorry, no experience with.  But I think the days of DIP switches
to control CR and LF behaviour of the printer are as much long
gone for Epson as for everyone else.

Can you tell us more about what it's plugged into, and how, and confirm
that self-test sheets print okay?  The spec sheet says that its options
are parallel and USB.  Software version numbers are appreciated too,
from "uname -X" (?) onwards in minute detail.

Psst - Wanna work for yourself?
