I have dug out an old printer I have (bought 1993) because I would like to use it to print out Japanese documents, but I am not able to figure out how to get it to print with Linux and Casio's site is not helpful. Does anyone here know what to do, even if just to get it to print textfiles? It is a: Casio Page Printer mini CP-500S And according to the manual in Japanese, which I can read somewhat, I can see that it supports the modes: ECS/Page ESC/P 201H By plugging it into the parallel and serial port I have attempted to get CUPS to detect it, but without luck, and no Casio printer is listed anywhere so I don't know if it is supposed to be compatible with another printer. From the manual I can see that Seiko/Epson is mentioned together with the two first modes and NEC PC-9800 series for the third, but none that I have tried in CUPS (Seiko and Epson only) will work with it. I have no idea how to construct an /etc/printcap entry, but it would be nice if anyone has a suggestion.
