I doubt if there's many people on this list using dot-matrix printers, let alone anyone using that particular model. If it emulates that Epson I doubt if you'll have too many problems (for plain text, dollar signs, spaces and line-feeds, at least; I don't warranty this advice if you need to do graphics or fancy little glyphs or wingdings). You're right that you might have to change some jumpers, but they shouldn't be hard to find or access. Ask the seller - it'll probably be documented in the manual. Stroller.
